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.
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
Samesies. What has become increasingly frustrating is that many opt-out emails require me to disable tracker control. It should be illegal to force tracking to avoid future tracking
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
I want to second cycling. It’s a good way to explore your city for free as well as getting shape. There are often cycling groups that you can join as well if you want to socialize on top of it
Is this the guy who always is over the top with his emotions in his videos?
Personally, I use Debian and gravitate towards flat paks, but I’m starting to question whether this is just one of those hills Linux users arbitrarily choose to die on a la systemd/wayland? I suppose one of the advantages of an opinionated OS is a vast array of opinions
Can you copy/paste your code so that we can take a look at it? Alternatively, if you load a tix on the Clipious GitHub, they might be able to assist.
Interesting name choice
Does anyone have any suggestions for a Garmin watch? Alternatively, since the battery is on its last legs, I am probably overdue to buy a new watch if anyone has any FOSS-friendly suggestions (either out the box or after disabling certain sync functionality outside of my local lan)
Same. It was definitely an adjustment as a former ChromeOS user. There were some minor issues like getting playback for streaming services and maybe 1-2% of the unique websites I visit not being built properly for Firefox but it’s pretty infrequent and you develop a quick workflow to resolve the issues. I have a backup version of Chromium that I use as an emergency browser.
I use a Firefox fork (Floorp) which gives me PWAs capabilities which was the last hurdle for me.
Do it!
