And they're big supporters and developers of Linux

Not looking to disagree, but do you have a source on the "developers" part?

Some games from Steam can still be used without Steam’s DRM. It’s a little difficult to pull it off, but it can be done

Yes. Opening PDFs might be safer on Linux, but general internet security and practice goes a long way, too. Using a content-blocker like uBlock Origin on Firefox can greatly reduce attack surface on both Linux and Windows as well

researchers from security firm Trend Micro found an encrypted binary file on a server known to be used by a group they had been tracking since 2021

Sounds like it targets servers specifically, so desktop users should be safe

No.

By installing software only from trusted sources (default repositories from your distribution are the safest software you will ever install on linux)

Say no to centralized platforms altogether. I don’t want to be that person, but things like these are exactly why open-source is (and should be) superior. It’s unfortunate that OSS has had so little traction in the end-user side of things

It’s not ChatGPT’s API. It runs locally, no internet required. For those interested read more here: https://gpt4all.io/index.html

If only KDE was as seamless as GNOME on my Optimus laptop… I’ve tried gaming on Wayland (I need wayland for games) on KDE and performance was awful. On GNOME Wayland it’s as good as Windows

As ironic as this sounds, Google can’t let Firefox die because then it would become a monopoly

Valve is and was aware of this problem even back then. I don’t have a reliable source on this but from what I remember it all started when Microsoft begun pushing the Microsoft Store.

Gabe Newell even said Linux is the future of gaming

And for this I have a source: https://www.pcgamer.com/gabe-newell-linux-and-open-source-are-the-future-of-gaming/

My comment isn’t really a viable argument but I’ve been thinking about how an advert for Linux would be:

“The top 500 supercomputers in the world run Linux, don’t you want to feel like having a supercomputer at home? Why wait? Get your Linux for free today!”

Not really to be taken seriously, but if you want a real argument and example:

My laptop is really laggy with windows 10, and it came preinstalled with it. Recently I tried dual-booting Linux and Windows, and Windows was simply too slow. I am so accustomed with Linux’s speed that I wiped Windows off it. Never again.

Take your ignorance elsewhere

It is basically tor browser without the tor network, but with all the privacy features that one would find in tor browser

Sorry, I read your post wrong

It’s legit just ChatGPT because it’s just ChatGPT. Microsoft is investing heavily in OpenAI

One thing I don’t understand about all of this WEI: can’t we just use a user agent switcher / spoofer to ‘look’ like chrome or any other browser and OS to counter this?

Firejail is (from what I understand) the same thing as flatpak but for system applications

Won’t a User Agent Switcher be enough? Firefox has an extension like this and they even recommend it

I’ve visited the websites of all of the browsers you listed. All of them have the same-ish UI. I don’t really know what a ‘workspace browser’ is so I don’t have nearly as concrete of an opinion as someone that uses one of these daily. But, from the UI alone, they feel like the Opera web browser (they are definitely not the same, and probably serve different purposes but this is the impression I get). Does one of these browsers have more features? Which one do you feel comfortable using?

Also, unrelated, but can you or someone else explain to me what is a ‘workspace browser’? What purpose does one of these serve?
