I installed Opera and used it exclusively.
Why do people use Opera? It’s a proprietary Chrome fork owned by a Chinese company.
Perhaps for old time’s sake. It used to be using its own engine.
Chinese company
??? It being Chinese has fuck all to do with Opera’s issues.
And for anyone reading, just use Zen Browser, it is amazing.
US has NSLs. I expect China has the same. Better to avoid companies from such dangerously authoritarian regimes.
That doesn’t mean much tho, because authoritarian is basically a buzzword. Every single state in existence is authoritarian by nature. I recommend the very short read “On Authority” by Engels. That being said, if you are worried about your data being used, specially for nefarious reasons, being concerned with the US having access to it is pretty valid since they are the country on earth that loves to invade and bomb anyone that dares breath wrong, but I can’t see the same worry about other countries, specially China being very valid.

I bet you have some interesting opinions.
You’re gonna come up with an actual argument or just demonize me because I’m a communist?
Begone, tankie.

I love Vivaldi, which is like a spiritual improvement on Opera. I switched a few years back, and once you get used to the UI and the key shortcuts it’s just such a breeze using the internet. Magnificently customizable, very nice little extras. ALAS! Because Vivaldi is based on Opera which is based on Chromium and Google came out and started blocking or restricting addons (the implementation of Manifest v3 blocks a lot of API block requests that ad blockers rely on), I went back to Firefox. Because fuck that.
There is a good chance that this guy is a bit counter-cultural and does not want to use the obvious version of anything.
Look at the Windows mail client he tried to go with.
Whoever put autoplaying video with sound on that website should be executed.

No you have only 1 problem.
Only nine now? That’s so much better than it used to be!
When I first tried Linux (Mandrake, many years ago), I could probably come up with 9 problems in just the first hour 😆
It’s easy to find nine problems in Windows too, so this is pretty good for a free OS, IMO. It’s great to see Linux gradually become more mainstream (aside from Android and servers)
Edit: I’m a dumbass lol
I totally misread the title 😭
That is a very deceptive title. These are problems he noticed in Windows 11, not Linux.On first glance, I understood the title as saying there were nine problems in Win11; it might be ambiguous but I don’t think it’s fair to label it as very deceptive.
That’s how I read it first time, I don’t see how it’s misleading. I think everyone knows that Windows isn’t ready for the desktop.
