More power to them

I've been using i3 with the same GTK theme for several years now. It's completely tuned to my workflow. I don't need it to change it anymore. Also, because it's so customizable, I can literally add features which I want.

since average users get their tech friends to do the installing anyway

Close but no cigar.

While some people do take their tech-friend's help, majority of people just buy PCs/laptops with Windows preinstalled. THAT is the reason people are just used to Windows.

There is no OS called Vista 🙂

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.
