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 don’t use Google directly, but as part of the open source meta search engine SearXNG, where we can specify what search engines it will use. And the top result is from Google and I can confirm that Plasma 6 for Arch is now officially been canceled. And it’s linked to Reddit. :smiley:
Search terms: kde plasma 6 release arch linux
Google search is dying and it's good
Bring back AltaVista!
Ah, a man of culture as well. I remember using it before Google was a thing. Before it was purchased by Yahoo: https://web.archive.org/web/20010616025422/http://www.altavista.com/ and here the first snapshot available on archive org: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022174810/http://www.altavista.com/
Oh man,that and hotbot.
I hopped on board the duck duckgo train a short while ago ( 6 months ). I've had no real issues with it except for one thing. If some event occurs and gains popularity very quickly ( within the span of a couple days ), it doesn't really show up at the forefront of the search results.
A decent example is when I was looking up the Willy's Chocolate Factory event fiasco. I was specifically looking for images from the event to forward to my brother bc that entire event was hilarious. I had trouble with ducksuckgo. I fell back to Google image search for more ease of use.
Well privacy and quality always come with some drawbacks
No doubt. It's not much of a complaint, but rather an advisory. I still main duckduckgo of for no other reason than to avoid the mounting ads on Google
I know there are some search engines that use Google's search but add some privacy stuff to stop tracking. Maybe take a look at one of them?
