Zorin OS 17.3 replaced the default Browser from Firefox(Old) to Brave(New).

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad
-
the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?
They don't force you to buy anything. Almost all distros have a donation button their site/git.
Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.

Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
-
Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?
-
As a Librewolf user I wouldn't make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that's still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it's just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla's spyware.
-
That is the default behaviour, but it's pretty trivial to change. Also, I'd imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.
-
It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it's trying to by default be untraceable and private.
It's very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal

There is a difference between a donation and a purchase. You can buy Ubuntu Pro like Zorin Pro. Its not free

You keep ignoring the "pro" version aspect of this.
Debian doesn't lock features or updates behind paywalls. It's not just about asking for donations.
What does zorin lock behind the pro version? Some themes that you could make yourself if you wanted. And they package some apps that you could manualy download. What updates are you refering to?
-
They should've picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.I kinda dislike the default LibreWolf settings. Unsure if they changed it, but I remember that you have no history except you change it in the settings.
A Windows refugee wants a history. Addituonally, many pages just dont work.
My University also does capture a picture and reads it from the Canvas or something, which LibreWolf blocks. It doesnt show again if something is okay or wrong. I just got a Mail that I need to reupload it and go by myself to pickup my University-Card.
I wasnt the only one as Informatics has many Linux users and some Librewolf users.

Why lock anything behind a paywall? They do it to take advantage of users who don't know any better.
Otherwise, they would just ask for donations.
Why are you defending scummy practices? Are you a shill or a useful idiot?
Nah people just frame it as if you need to buy it, while that's not true. No I'm not defending scummy practices, I'm just pro supporting software that you enjoy. That people like you can't handle others opinions and immediately resort to calling it "fanboy or useful idiot." The world doesn't need to be a copy pasta of opinions

All Scripture is God-breathed. Take it up with Him.
Actually I think they had a kind of committee to decide what was "scripture" and what wasn't.

Did you seriously just do the Ackchyually meme?

We see SUSE and REL at corps and enterprises, not so much Ubuntu. None offer something like GRID though. Central management tool for Admins to deploy all systems equally from central location, with dashboard view, without having to run scripts or autoYAST to keep systems the same
Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.
I'm fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can't be bothered to learn another distro.

Ubuntu made Linux easily accessible to anyone, so you are probably right.
For the enterprise stuff we work with only REL and SUSE are certified to install on, and work with the software. OpenSUSE works too because of the shared binaries with SUSE

I am not a Zorin OS fanbiy or anything, but honestly I don't see anything scummy about requiring payment from the user to get access to certain features of the product. It's just shareware. It's their product FOSS or not.
