Damn, that's tough. Have you heard about our lord and savior Ubuntu and it's blessed snap version of Firefox?

If you’re in the market for a new machine, there are better options in terms of affordability and usability, even if you’re specifically looking for an ARM device
Are you thinking of Snapdragon X1 Elite/Pro laptops? I use one of those (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x) and while it's really neat, they're also lacking a lot of peripheral support and drivers at the moment.
You could compile it from source yourself, and you won't even have to worry about packaging and package managers.
Nice! I just bought an ARM laptop and installed Ubuntu on it, only to later learn that Ubuntu package support for RISCV is even more extensive than for ARM. I guess I'll go with RISCV for my next machine.
Like someone commented in another fediverse community: this court case can really only keep going for two more months, after that it's anyone's guess what will happen to the court: Alphabet could bribe someone in the DOJ to make the case disappear or (and this is the funny one) law and order could breakdown completely, rendering the case, the court and all the rest of society moot.
Nice, looking forward to it! So much money and time wasted on pipe dreams and hype. We need to get back to some actually useful innovation.
Did you try to hack a Gibson from your home?
I lost my home to an accident. An rm -rf accident... :(
Whoa, that's early KDE? They really went all in on looking like contemporary Windows.
I've used Linux since the mid 00's and, well, I've seen some shit. But nowadays? It's the best desktop OS I've used. I recently had to start using a Mac for work and realized just how far DE's like Gnome and KDE have gotten. It feels like I have to fight MacOS every single day to get it to do the absolute basics, the things that Gnome and KDE does out of the box. And the most ridiculous thing is that the app ecosystem for MacOS is so heavily focused on monetization that if you purchase enough apps to customize the MacOS DE to an acceptable level, you'd likely have spent enough money to buy another laptop. Madness.
TL;DR: Turns out that this year is actually the year of Linux on the desktop!

Yup. Modern MacOS is only pleasant to use if you have absolutely no preferences on how your computing environment should work and am willing to completely accept the walled garden.
Otherwise, it's a hellscape.
