    Putting Brave and Firefox next to each other doesn’t sit right with me. I’d say Brave is the tech normie’s “secure” browser. Then you can put Librewolf next to Firefox.

      As someone who went from Chrome to Brave, im actually very curious. What are some of the differences between Firefox and Brave? Should I make it a priority to switch?

        mainly not being based on chromium, no integrated crypto stuff, css theming support, and some compatibility issues with complex websites (as a result of no chromium)

      Yeah, after a number of people tried to go after Mozilla for hiring trans people, those kinds of people are mostly on Brave nowadays

      not conservative in the political sense, just conservative with regards to tech

      On the other hand, being called not too lazy and paranoid about gaming difficulties to switch to Linux for using Firefox is overly generous towards people like me 😁

        Most Linux users on the internet are elitists.

        Not much more to take away from that comment. It’s essentially differentiating between “casual Linux users” and “real Linux users”.

          As a Linux enjoyer it’s definitely true that the elitist/casual ratio is higher on Linux compared to Windows or MacOS (especially Arch manual installers), but as more and more people will adopt Linux, this ratio will probably be lower and lower.

            Here we go.

            Who are you to decide what does and does not belong on Linux?

              I think what they were specifying was the role GNU plays in that sentence. Personally I don’t like calling one GNU/Linux and the other Linux, but the defining point of GNU is that it’s uses only free open source software, and does not contain any non-free (as in speech, not beer) software.

              GNU preaches free software. Steam is nonfree. I think they’re just trying to point that out.

        Paranoid people usually will use a flatpak version of software, since that can secure the person’s privacy a bit more than a non-flatpak one. (The program is isolated from the system, just like a docker container if you know what that is)

    Luke Smith has some pretty bigoted opinions.

      The extreme customization it offers is fun, but even on my gaming rig the updates of source packages are unbearably slow, I would never use it as a daily driver.

      probably in between conservative and paranoid. as with Arch, imo. NixOS is great btw. Gentoo people are insane (in a good way).

      Previously a musk simp, until it started effecting him. he’s a YouTube techfluencer who’s always all in on tech. Full blown optimism even when it’s obviously wrong with sudo-libertarian ideals without calling himself libertarian. Guy thinks the best of all tech companies while ignoring all faults until it’s insanely in-your-face
