Have you ever used Linux?

You seem very misinformed so I’m just providing you with resources.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

Getting hung up on feature parity with Windows and Mac is both a waste of time and literally impossible given the major differences between those two UIs. KDE already does most of that legwork anyway, and you can disable middle click paste easily.

IMO your time would be best spent making GUI tooling that doesn’t already exist. Identify a pain point for you that forces you to the terminal and start there.

Okay well if they were $6 I would have mentioned that. They’re not, they’re like $2.

On many distros it is.

Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.

You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?

There’s really no reason to use it on a general purpose desktop. It’s designed to basically make a PC into a console. You do still have full access to the (mostly) normal Linux system behind it, but it’s not something I’d use unless I was setting it up for someone who didn’t want to deal with any of the behind the scenes stuff.

CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite all should get you the same level of gaming support with more flexibility as a normal OS, and they can all run Steam Big Picture which is basically the SteamOS UI.

Mmm I don’t know about this one, I worked at grocery stores 15 years ago and fancier single apples were around $1.50.

The first one is -DD-MM.

It is and it isn’t. There’s a ton of tech waste and lots of people get rid of systems that are still quite capable. Obviously there’s less power but even a 6 year old gaming rig can still run most games, just at lower framerates

Hahaha okay great I was just feeling sorry for your back!

Tap it off on your ankle or a chair leg.

The floor? Have you heard of brooms and mops?

Use a decent quality duster, cheaper options retain way less dust.

Dust from high to low in a room or area.

After a few strokes, tap out the duster at ground level, on your ankle or a hard surface. This minimizes dust getting in the air.

Finally, vacuum.

Spoken like a terrible human being.

All the ads/suggestions can be easily disabled, as can the AI stuff. Perplexity only tracks you if you use it, and that blurb is about their browser, not FF. Everything FF is doing with AI is local models, which I still won’t use but are vastly preferable to cloud models that are sending reams of data through third party servers.

At the end of the day Firefox needs to make some money for it to continue existing, that’s the world we live in. So far they are still by far the least onerous big browser, and their continued existence makes all of their various forks possible.

What would a boycott look like? Librewolf is still downstream from FF, as is every other commonly suggested alternative, and as you say the other options are worse, the vast majority being Chrome-based. Frankly, unless the people doing the boycotting are regular donators to the project, I don’t know why Mozilla would notice.

The backlash to the recent AI announcement is real and they’re already reacting to it, but just like every time FF gets bad press it’s overblown and irrational, and likely encouraged by Chrome and other big money interests that would love it to go away entirely.
