From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I find it ironic that some Linux websites load faster on Chrome than Firefox sometime it doesn't even load correctly on Firefox (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

it feels like a "web app" more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to "load" after loading the page.. unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

I kind of like this behavior. If you're writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it's almost guaranteed that you'll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

ui also feels way too 'simple', hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

Don't know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they're usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
