I used Linux on and off over the years and will probably switch back to using it when Windows 10 is no longer supported. Linux will never be mainstream but the user base would grow if every Steam game ran on Linux seamlessly. That’s probably never going to happen, though. There will also never be “the one” distro to rule them all. Mint and Ubuntu come pretty close.

I think the “invisible hand of the market” swats more people than it helps.

I’m pretty far left politically and I can think of a number of similarities between the two parties. The dynamics are very much the same in certain cases but the ideology driving it is different.

https://www.gmx.com Isn’t bad but I haven’t really used it that much.

I used it up to the early 2000’s and it just seemed to slow down. I recently did a series of synthetic benchmarks on all the browsers and Firefox was the slowest of the batch. It’s still the only browser left not built on chromium I think. Opera GX was the fastest in terms of benchmarking.
