RIP. Was on firefish a few months but saw the writing on the wall back then and jumped ship. In retrospect, probably the 3rd or 4th federated product I’ve been a user of that flamed out. WATTBA

Made the switch as well thanks to the modern key bindings
Prior to switching (upgrading?) to Wayland, Debian KDE crashed under X11 regularly when waking from hibernation and the taskbar would disappear. Restarting the plasma shell made it operable again, so I created an alias and regularly rebooted the DE shell 2-3x a day:
alias damnTaskbar='killall plasmashell ; kstart plasmashell &'
For game subscription services, I use a month as a ‘taster’ and then buy games outright that will keep me busy for months. Paying for a subscription in perpetuity isn’t worth it for my gaming, but admittedly, I’m a millennial that grew up before online gaming et al.
I get it. I’m a year in and was pulling my hair out dealing w/ frustrating issues for the first few weeks/months. Smooth sailing now, but I don’t deny the learning curves that are possible.
I made the transition last summer and there was definitely growing pains. Over time it will become second nature like everything else. The advice I would give would be to be patient and accept that you have used a different operating system probably for over a decade, so there will be a learning curve initially.
Also, artificial intelligence models (especially Claude) are very useful for troubleshooting.
Conversely, I have a lot more stamina in the bedroom now that I’ve been regularly cycling
I use Floorp and JUMPED to it from Firefox because I had a mediocre Firefox experience. I fancy myself a power user and was not a fan. The idea that the majority who try Firefox and have issues are in the wrong and the minority who enjoy the experience are right seems backwards…
I had the exact same journey as you: Chrome to Chromium to Firefox to Floorp.
Different shortcuts, ways of customizing the browser, etc. the browser may feel like second nature to you currently, but for others, there’s friction in changing the software you’ve use for over a decade, and I say this as a current Floorp user
I’m not a user of brave, but I did a quick Google and it looks like they’re ad blocking will be unaffected. As for other extensions, I think that at least some will be supported for a year, while others may break immediately but I didn’t take too deep TBH
*An old free version that was purposefully hidden and buried by reverse SEO tactics, but yeah
I’m preaching to the choir here on Lemmy but I’m glad that I made the jump to Linux last year
If you are self hosting front end alternatives like teddit or nitter, libredirect is a great tool. Now, even when I browse the internet on my tablet, the extension will redirect to my server instance instead
💀 at making it a men’s rights issue.
From my perspective, it’s toxic to always get your audience worked up over minute things. That kind of content is what I tried to avoid hence my move to Lemmy
There’s also cheat as well
Is this the guy who always is over the top with his emotions in his videos?
Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.
