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

Lol, imagine thinking any of that half-baked fanfic was real.

[hotcoffee@lemm.ee]

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad

[hotcoffee@lemm.ee]

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.

Ubuntu asks for money for their "pro" version.

It's a big reason why I switched to Debian.

[Guest]

Yeah. Viral marketing is real but people never seem to be able to identify it.

[hotcoffee@lemm.ee]

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?

[Guest]

Ugh. Why can't designers recognize they don't need to do things different just for the sake of being different?

I guess it's what makes them bad designers.

[Guest]

Probably getting downvoted by fanboys.

[Guest]

It’s very easy to

Sigh. This is what makes you people bad designers.

[Guest]

A bad move. But again i hate that many distros have a default browser and they don't let you choose.

[Guest]

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.

[reakduck@lemmy.ml]

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

[hotcoffee@lemm.ee]

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?

[reakduck@lemmy.ml]

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.

[Guest]

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?

[hotcoffee@lemm.ee]

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

[bunkyprewster@lemmy.world]

Actually I think they had a kind of committee to decide what was "scripture" and what wasn't.

[Guest]

Did you seriously just do the Ackchyually meme?

[ohnomorelemmy@lemmy.ml]

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.
