My 92 year old aunt: You do the Leenux thing, right? You need to come over sometime and install it for me, because f#ck all I ain't gonna update to Windows 11.

Me: .... ?!#!?

I explain what the change-over entails and that I generally don't recommend it just because...

Aunt: No, f#ck that, f#ck capitalism, my laptop is still fine, so come over and set me up with that Leenux thing.

"I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays."

I've had exactly the same experience! Migrated from #MacOS to #Ubuntu #Linux over the summer. #Firefox was the default browser. In my case FF had/has a huge memory leak that was left to fester for over a month. Looked around and switched to the #Vivaldi browser thinking I'd lose #uBlock--but (pleasant surprise!) there was no limitation on that or any other plug-in I have. 🙂

So far (less than a month) I'm very impressed and happy with Vivaldi. Recommended! 👍

Valve is persuading the HDMI Forum to allow open source support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux (SteamOS) without restrictions 💫

This video standard brawl isn't a do-or-die problem for the Steam Machine - most won’t even notice.

The HDMI Forum holds Linux gaming back artificially tho. Society could just drop HDMI, adopting free'er DisplayPort where common sense is missing 😉

If Valve succeeds towards '26 - it'll be a huge victory for all.

I don’t use it often (prefer physical books), but I’ve had success with Foliate.
