I firmly believe that #Windows #users who only #browse the #web, watch #movies, use #word processing and #email, and do some basic #photo #editing are much better off with #Linux than with #Windows11. This is likely true for 85% of home Windows users.

You don't even have to make any major adjustments because the software looks almost identical on Windows and Linux:

1) For #browsing use #Firefox (or #LibreWolf).
2) For word processing use #LibreOffice.
3) For emails use #Thunderbird.
4) For movies use #VLC.
5) For photo editing use #Gimp (or #Krita).
6) There are now also better alternatives to many other Windows applications available on Linux...

So please explain to me why #XDA thinks Linux is only for Windows users who just surf the web? source: xda-developers.com/linux-becom…

Which Linux distribution do you recommend for #beginners switching from Windows?

#tux #linux #software #os #choice #microsoft #user #browser #email #office #image #gui #experience #foss #floss #freedom #bigtech #surveillance #tracking #economy #business #company #community #change #distro #distribution #opensource #gnu #gpl #noob #newbie #beginner #recommendation #program #application
Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web

Ich kann seit ein paar Updates unter Arch Linux, Librewolf nicht mehr auf Deutsch stellen:
LibreWolf can't update your languages right now. Check that you are connected to the internet or try again.

Eine Suche im Internet ergab, es handelt sich wohl um ein Bug in Librewolf 149 oder so... hat noch jemand von euch das Problem?

#LibreWolf v151.0.3-1 is now available!

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/151.0.3-1

https://librewolf.net/installation/

Notable Changes:
Clears the preference `toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart`, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/3056)

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/151.0.3/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

I updated #webkitgtk packages on #slackaroni to 2.52.4 and on aarch64 only, updated #librewolf-151.0.3-1

th-th-that's all folks! https://slackware.lngn.net

It's Wednesday here in Danang, time to get the sundries out there!
Hot off the press:
- The latest Librewolf (according to their git updated 3 hrs ago)
- Brave Origin of course

- A new addition: Vivaldi!

There is an excellent Sbo pkg for that, made by one of the Vivaldi maintainers. But if you just want an installable Slackware pkg, you can find it in this repo; I switched back to Vivaldi myself also.

As a consequence Brave-Origin will be discontinued by me at the end of June 2026.

Did @librewolf have an update that reinstated the 'delete all site data and cookies when closing the browser' setting?

Because it is a royal PITA signing back into everything you had open last week, when you can't remember what you had open last week and when the browser can't tell you...

I lost some containers too.

Wegen dem #LibreWolf muss ich mir auch noch was überlegen. Der fliegt ja bald aus dem #Homebrew und dann wirds mit Updates komplizierter.

Vielleicht doch zurück zum Original, oder #Waterfox ausprobieren? 🤔🌩️
