    Brave's CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.

        That's the logic of as long as it benefits ME I don't care and I support them no matter what they do. This same logic has been applied to all the shitty things done in history like slavery, war and so forth, and the reason the world is the way it is.

            A device that surreptitiously gathers information on a target is called a bug, not a feature.

            Well, not really, a bug is unintentional. Even calling it a design flaw is a stretch, it's a feature that isn't for your benefit.

              That would be totally true if every software was distributed as a flatpak and every distro had flatpak enabled in the package manager out of the box. That's just not reality.

              I said “usually”, and I’m talking about mainstream distros.

              Also the original comment says “the whole OS is not ready for the general public”, which is also vague. I don’t expect the “general public” to install Gentoo and suffer from this issue.

                Sadly, quite a few things. Here's a few:

                • Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
                • One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
                • Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
                • Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
                • Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
                • Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn't always an out-of-the-box experience
                • Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

                Don't get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.

                Doesn't Linux have pretty much every driver built into the kernel with the only notable exception being the NVIDIA closed source drivers. Even those drivers are a single command away from installation, it even configures itself correctly out of the box for Wayland support.

                  I use Linux regularly, and the last time i installed an app was probably within the past 365 days

                      They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

                          What's easier in Windows compared to Linux? Except the fact that you have to install it, since it doesn't come preinstalled on as many PCs. But many people who think Windows is easy would probably still consider installing it difficult.

                          it's easier because they've been using it all their life. If they'd been using linux all their life, they'd say that windows was too hard to use, nod oubt.

                              My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.

                                    As does Linux.

                                        Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
                                        It exists and therefore it's bad enough.

                                        It's fine as a browser and it does a good job at syncing across devices. Still my chrome based browser of choice.
