Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC
-
Can Recall not just be turned off?
For now it is opt-in. It's unlikely to remain that way.
-
For an update or two, at least. Windows features tend to get turned back on after updates quite frequently.
That's why you leverage group policy or local security policies to disable these features.

What's easier in Windows compared to Linux?
Graphics drivers. I can't say I ever had a graphics driver update in Windows that rendered my system borderline unusable, but I 100% blame Nvidia for me running windows until recently. I tried a dozen times over a decade and ended up back on windows when the Nvidia update trashed my system and I got sick of dealing with it.
On team green and running Bazzite with no issues
That's more of an Nvidia problem than a Linux problem.

What? When was the last time you tried Linux?
With flatpak, it’s usually a one-click process to install anything nowadays.
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.

Brave 🤮

There's one in every thread.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!

The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.

Not even then. For example the biggest Linux distribution in use is Ubuntu, and it doesn't have flatpak built in. So even if a flatpak of an app is available, a user of Ubuntu would have to already understand what a flatpak is, and already know that it would make the app installable on Ubuntu, and know that flatpak itself can be installed separately, and know how to use a different install method already just to get the flatpak system onto their computer in the first place

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.
Switching to Hannah Montana Linux made me hear The Best of Both Worlds again.

funny thing is ban evaders(the ones that make hundreds of accounts for OF or links) use it for its anti-fingerprinting which is useful against reddit(temporarily) ability to read the browser. i used to temporarily, and kinda explains why my last acc was only shadowbanned much later than thier purges.(i was hit by thier AI moderation as soon as switched to a different browser fork of FF)

Until they change those policy definitions.

Doing anything requires the memorization of thousands of commands that must be formatted perfectly and are specific to your distribution, into a black box that rarely provides any feedback at all, and when it does it's extremely generic.
I'm sure my inbox will be blown up by delusional people claiming you don't need it but it's just not true.
The simple act of installing software is crazy complicated and different on every distro.
My current distro has 2 separate system update apps and I don't really know how to use either of them, nor do I understand why I need to use them at all. Why does the system need me to click buttons to make it go? Just do it in the background. Then as soon as it's done I get another popup 3 minutes later saying another package needs to be updated.
Hardware compatibility is a huge problem, fingerprint readers, WiFi, facial recognition, Bluetooth, etc. etc. Very few companies make computers with Linux compatibility being considered at all. Everything will have drivers day 1 on Windows and then they'll trickle down to Linux a year or two later.
Nvidia GPUs are by far and away the most popular and they're still very painful to use. And even though that's entirely Nvidia's fault, the problem remains.
I dislike Linux the least but there's no way I could recommend it to anyone who isn't a giant nerd who likes fixing computers.
i wouldnt know where to begin if i had to switch, since im not in the tech industry, only 2 of my bros would switch since they are programmers.

Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!
Delete only the boot partition? Doug kick him off the tour!

MacOS isn't terrible, only the hardware is.
Apple's entire software design philosophy is god-awful. There's only one way to do things and if you don't like "The Apple Way", fuck you. "It just works" only works for very basic normie stuff. If you try to do anything advanced, it most likely won't work and it'll give zero feedback as to why.

I mean I don't particularly like it either but not having tons of choice is not always a complete negative, it simplifies a lot of things. And having an OS that mostly functions like an OS instead of a fucking billboard is nice. Just keeping things in context here.

Brave's CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.
I need a better option then. What can yall suggest?

That’s not even the worst thing about him. He also invented JavaScript.

He invented JavaScript, so definitely don't use that either. For real. JavaScript sucks.
Ah, you beat me to it.

Me fail reading.
