Get yourself a copy of Floorp. It’ like Librewolf but better.

yay for the win

cows_are_underrated,

Why should you use yay to install a browser?

XyliaSky,

I’ve got a Steam Deck, and just installed Bazzite onto it, and I’m currently wishing that installing everything was as simple as this. Back when I used Linux daily there wasn’t this whole idea of “rootless” and immutable and sandboxed environments, and just figuring out how to get yad installed for steamtinkerlaunch to work had me faffing about with Nix and Fleek and Distrobox, and they’re all neat if I had the time to learn them but long story short I wish everything was package managers with a simple GUI.

Luccus, (edited )

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.

Count me as ‘basic’ and ‘just starting’, because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don’t have to remember anything and that works just as well.

And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I’m not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.

Nomad,

AI content?

sudo apt-get install firefox qutebrowser

GarlicToast,

Not on NixOS we dont

Neon,

SnowflakeOS aims to do that, check it out. It’s a pretty small project though, so don’t expect too much

GarlicToast,

😍

I’m happy with NixOS for my self. But it may help get less technical people free from Ubuntu.

I thought Linux users hated “stores”

Madagaskar_sky,

? Linux has had “stores” since forever, the distro repositories. That is what this is. Linux users hate walled gardens, like App Store and Play Store.

qjkxbmwvz,

We love package managers though!

Most Linux users like the benefits of having a single command/interface to search for, install, and update software. The problem is when the source(s) for those programs is locked down.

arschfidel,

OMG, so complicated! Literally unuseable for anyone but computer scientists!

Firefox is literally already right there tho…

funkless_eck,

why doesn’t my version have a launch button like the gif, btw? Genuine question. I have to launch it separately from SUPER+A every time

prime_number_314159,

A major factor is the window manager you use, and the settings of that window manager. I’m not up to speed with it, but I think this one is GNOME.
