Name one place in the world where being straight is illegal.

Nice

I like how the first point made is that the backdoor violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines, as if that’s the main problem

What’s BOFA? (Apart from BOFA deez nuts)

Carbon-based life forms

How does it even work? I thought the api changes made 3rd party apps effectively impossible?

Long ago, the four foxes lived together in harmony. But everything changed when the firefox attacked…

Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.

I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.

About half a year into this “experiment”, my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn’t working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn’t for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.

Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It’s not the most “exciting” setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.

Also somewhat related

Mentioning you’re using NixOS is slowly becoming the new “I use arch btw”, isn’t it?

As long as there is software that only runs on Windows, Windows won’t die.

Right now I’m on Jerboa. I tried Liftoff for a while but it had some weird bugs, and development on it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last few months. Thought it was very promising however, might try it again in the future.

Reddit forcing me to use their shitty app

Oh actually I will try that, thanks

I use it for my university email, which is an outlook account. Edge is the only browser that doesn’t constantly log me out.

If I’m not mistaken gnome web (epiphany) uses the same browser engine as safari

Don’t know why this is downvoted. Even distros like Debian, that are 100% FOSS otherwise, will (often) load some proprietary firmware because otherwise it would barely be functional on any modern computer.
