There is no OS called Vista πŸ™‚

It’s almost easier to install than Windows at this point

Give an average user a PC with no OS. Ask them to install Windows. They can Google/use a pendrive on a secondary PC. I'd like to see how easy Windows 11 is to install.

Those are jumping to Librewolf from Firefox, keep the following things in mind

  • It's a privacy first, usability second browser
  • It's not a browser for your grandparents. You have you take some steps to give it the same functionality as Firefox
  • Good news is it removes a lot of Mozilla cruft
  • Browser fingerprinting, which allows websites to recognize an individual user, is disabled on this browser. This feature greatly enhances privacy.
  • But it means it will 'slightly' break some websites. Nothing very serious but certain QoL features will be missing at first. Eg. When downloading a software, it can't determine which OS you are using.
  • You can enable browser fingerprinting and get those QoL features back.

Hope you have a good experience on Librewolf. I've been using it for the past 1 year and it's fine.

Discord uses unencrypted WebRTC

I'm a noob but how unencrypted are we talking about here? Can someone do a packet capture and reconstruct the video? Or like unencrypted at the machine level and other processes can see.

Sorry but Linux is becoming too mainstream for me now. Time to hop on to BSD

Some games I had issues with are Asseto Corsa, Beam.NG and ETS2 external mods (base ETS2 runs superb). I have seen that competitive racing is a genre which has a slight intolerance towards Linux. Many racing games also require hardware mods which may need some hacking to get it working. I understand it's a niche hobby but it is a problem.
