This was the pipe dream for many many years now. Not the first time MS is talking about it either.
It’s a thing in the Linux world and it’s just too costly to support and therefore most user facing distros outright don’t support it.

Not being open source ≠ not safe.
Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.
They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.
Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it’s less secure than Edge by default.
like they did for the last 40 years without effect.
Have you seen even a single damn wiki article about this place, let alone read a book?
Social(ist) policies are extremely removed from socialism. The countries people list here, aka Canada, Danmark and Ireland among others are extremely capitalist still. This thread is therefore useless.
Yes. KDE is in fact much lighter and faster than GNOME. Apart from lower RAM usage, it taxes your CPU and GPU less.
The last paragraph has a Mechanicus ring to it lmao
Go play Half Life Alyx, a “real” game on Source 2.
Tip, just make a seperate EFI partition for Linux. That way, garbage Windows installer won’t be able to fuck up your install. Altough this assumes you’re running a non-shit EFI mobo that looks for things to boot in every partition.
Seriously. I just can’t escape. I think it’s nice to have people who support xism while also having people that support yism and zism, as it creates a healthy environment where we can discuss things throughly; since each member will see, recognize, and interpret what they see differently and possibly contribute more.
Vast majority of Lemmy users are in the same demographic which barely provides differing opinions so there’s basically nothing to discuss (apart from things do not sit well with said demographic).
I really do hope this platform somehow attracts users from every ideology much like Tildes.
What? These things are not related to each other by a good margin. In fact, since the FOSS is completely orderless, it goes against communism; which requires some sort of order just to be able to function. But either way, the parallel is not there or questionable at best, not to mention irrelevant.
Can we NOT drag useless politics into FOSS?
Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don’t want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.
I’d rather get a Android box at the very least…, or just HTPC.
I tend to disagree. I’m trying to integrate Blender to my work flow and I find very difficult to do so. Simply because 95% of it is accessed through arbitrary button combinations and has no GUI counterpart. This in turn makes the learning curve a cliff, which I really don’t consider a pleasant experience.
Also you can’t track viewport with a camera easily. Something that literally every other 3D app I’ve ever used allows you to do.
I do. It’s more secure than any other alternative. Not private, but really, really secure.
Best solution: Stop using Chrome.
It’s not the fastest nor the most feature rich anymore, not even the simplest.
I find it naive to think GNOME would suddenly start caring about compatibility as moving to a standard doesn’t guarantee such.
This is a reaaaaly specific thing to think about, you okay?
Did they lift the “only curated extensions” bullshit yet? I’m on Kiwi just to be able to run my own (unpacked) extensions that FF doesn’t let me do so.
It was really slow before Quantum happened and it’s smooth sailing ever since imo.
Funnily enough Chromium actually consumes less RAM and is safer due to better sandboxing.
But neither of these concern the average user. However, the main difference between the browsers user may notice is how pages that are still loading behave. Firefox has the correct behavior. Aka waiting for vast majority of the elements to finish loading versus Chromium just going “if it’s rendered it’s intractable.” This unfortunately means that Firefox feels slower even though it’s actually faster.
Also, on behalf of the dark mode enjoyers, flashing white for a moment while launching, loading web pages or updating contents of a webpage is incredibly annoying. None of the Chromium browsers flash white on dark mode.
Ah yes gender politics, only thing missing from Star Trek themed discussion.
