Recommendations for torrenting with linux?Honestly, whatever floats your boat. There are many good options here, just try all and use the one you liked most. Or just go and pick one, or use the one that comes pre-installed in your distro.
Recommended ones:
- qbittorrent (my favourite as for many other in the comments)
- Transmission
- Deluge
- rtorrent (great if you run a headless server)

Fuck reddit.Yeah. Except for some niche subs I haven't miss it at all. And thanks to Privacy Redirect add-on, I haven't visited Reddit itself for a long time. Since it still has some useful info that floods the search engines.

Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.Though you cannot see votes coming from a blocked instance.

Windows doesn't "just work"I know it's not an exact comparison but I think it's fair. Almost every Windows user (or the ones who fix others' computers) hit a situation where they had to modify registry (or run a .bat file they have no idea what it does -there were even official solutions like this-) to fix something, at least once in their lives. As a go-to tech-savvy person for a lot of people around me, I know I did this all the time. (I still remember that once someone asked me to remove 3D Objects folder because they couldn't and it was also a registry fix). On the other hand, while Linux is mature with its commandline, it also came to a point where a normal user don't need it, just like in Windows (it's a plus if they know at least how to paste commands if they need though). For example, my sister uses openSUSE and I taught her about YaST and she never had a single issue in the last 2 years, everything is done via GUI. She can install flatpaks if she needs too.

Windows doesn't "just work"Well, Windows was never perfect. People just got used to its shenanigans. They tend to meddle with bullshit registry yet somehow basic commands on Linux is too complicated.

Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in EdgeThey are reliant. These forks are basically tweaked Firefox.
Yeah, FIrefox is a huge code base. If Mozilla disappears, some big developer group must take over the flag. Otherwise with only community effort, the development would be slowed down.

Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in EdgeYou can think of it as a mobile version of LibreWolf. Strict security settings are default and Mozilla's telemetry is disabled/removed. Also unlike regular Firefox, you can download it from F-Droid (currently you need their repo but it'll be added officially soon, probably).
