I just moved to CachyOS when I learned about Artix. The distro hopping never truly ends, does it? LOL.

Welcome aboard!

Just deleted it from my phone. Thanks for the reminder.

Linux Distros (so far) Refusing Age Verification

EDIT
I recommend going to Ageless Linux’s site and reading up on their take on the whole issue. They clearly illustrate how poorly thought out the California law is.

I’m a pretty happy Vivaldi user. They have a No AI policy, it is infinitely customizable (you can put tabs any fucking where), has native ad and tracking blockers, you can use extensions, has a notes function w/markdown capability (which I find handy for having quick copypasta ready to go), a built-in mail client and RSS reader, synchs across devices…

You know…stuff.

Why do I get the feeling I will be distro hopping in the not-too-distant future?

Bring back the good old days, when billionaires lost everything, then leapt to their death from skyscrapers.

Google meant THEIR economic growth.

I bought a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro, carrier unlocked, for around $250. I also switched to an MVNO called Tello, and couldn’t be happier. If I should need to switch carriers, it’s going to be to another MVNO. I’m done with the major carriers.

My latest phone I bought refurbished and unlocked, and I switched to an MVNO called Tello. Couldn’t be happier.

This is an incredibly principled stand, and I applaud you for it.

Grabbing on to a moving vehicle can be hazardous. Just ask Frank and Jimmy Jump.

One of the best feelings for me ever was when I cancelled my Micro$oft account after switching to Mint.

The freshness is real.

Shoutout to the crew at Lutris for their gaming platform as well. I play Guild Wars 2 and Elder Scrolls Online with it, and couldn’t be more pleased with the performance.

May I ask what phone you’re using? Sounds nice!

uBlock origin works fine in Vivaldi. It comes with its own ad blocker (based of of uBlock, I think). I’m not sure what their stance on Manifest v3 is. I would recommend hitting up their site https://vivaldi.com

Yah. I’m a bit of a tab lightweight, I s’pose.

Honestly, it’s been so long since I used Firefox, I really don’t have a frame of reference. I’ll just say that I find the speed adequate for my needs, and I have multiple tabs open (12+).

I’m a fan of Vivaldi browser. Works great on Linux and Android. Bonus: Their leadership has gone on record stating there will be no AI in their browser.

Thank you for offering your experience.
