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

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.
- Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
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
Ah. I see. That’s very informative.

More like malware
yup. how do people continue using Winblows

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.
then people can complained it on Brave Github or their official forum and it will be fixed by their team

It's not a bug, it's a feature we don't like

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

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.
They got pills for that. Just sayin'

People, ynless they are at work, can choose to use Linux any time. I will personally assist if needed.

No. "I will support a good service and not mingle with politics"

Daves garage actually had a good video on the shared memory architecture recently that gives some insights on why apple designed this way they did. Don’t dismiss “different” as “trash.” You sound like an idiot when you do and it makes it difficult for adults to take you seriously. PC and Mac are designed with different goals in mind, so they tend to make different choices in their engineering, and you aren’t going to like every decision either side makes.
This is not "different" this is "anti consumer non-sense" and you sound like a chud when you recite corporate propaganda.
