Yeah, using Firefox is a real hassle compared to Edge or Chrome. It’s really only worth it if you’re hardcorde into privacy but barely usable for your average Joe /s

What do you mean still?
This is purely based on my experience but somehow I think that Pop OS works better on laptops. System76 is a laptop manufacturer so it makes sense they’d optimize for that, I suppose. You may want to give that a try

I run /e/OS with a custom app store, App Lounge. It combines F-Droid and the Play Store via Aurora. It even embeds Exodus Privacy Ratings and is simply awesome. You can even log in with your Google account and download paid apps that way. Pretty neat.

Used to be PyCharm but started switching to editors. This was accelerated when I started with Rust. Now I use Kate and Nano and sometimes Gedit
Bro. We just don’t want some stupid money hungry company harshing our mellow here.
It isn’t a new thing for companies to take a cool and open thing and just fuck it right up. Read this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html You may learn something…
Pop! _OS’s Cosmic Version of GNOME (regular GNOME kinda stinks) but KDE is also pretty great. Can’t wait for COSMIC DE. I’m sure that one will rock itself up to the number 1 spot really quickly.
That is weird… Point taken
Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows
I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.
I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.
In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it’s fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.
When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.

I primarily use the first two but the rest works great, too
Exactly! Chrome is just so much easier to install. All you have to do is go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/, click the big download button and install it. So much easier!
