Downvote for using Windows.
I want to downvote and upvote this comment at the same time
Why can’t we do that, anyways?
Been thinking that there should be an option to sidevote in such cases…
“I used Firefox to download Firefox” - Thanos
Man I love WinGet I just hope they add multi-threaded download to speed up downloads also downloading while installing other applications

Firefox is installed by default on my Linux distro, though
If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version
or enable flatpaks >:)
But still remove the snap version.
Just casually having Firefox with plugins and settings described in my NixOS config.
https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/desktop/firefox/default.nix
Works always the same.
Damn, nix is starting to look better each time I hear about it.
Man nix looks soo damn cool. I just dont know if id ever actually use it. But a versioned controlled OS seems so sweet.
Can you use it to choose desktop environment as well?
Yep. To change desktop environments, just change:
services.xserver.gnome.enable = true;to
services.xserver.plasma5.enable = true;This is cool because it gets rid of all the packages when you switch. There is nothing left of Gnome when you switch to KDE.
Wow. Im gonna try it out in a vm even if i have no use for it. That is crazy.
It’s really nice. When you setup a new system, you don’t have to spend hours changing settings, configs, and installing packages. With NixOS, just copy the config file from your old system and then run
nixos-rebuild.I really wish the default template switches to flakes soon. Using flakes is a must for the best experience, and converting the default config is at best a hassle and for newbies a huge mountain to cross.
Don’t you need to google the exact package name anyways?
winget search <query>Or just try to install, and it shows you what the package name is.
“package” :)
programs.librewolf = { enable = true; extensions = with pkgs.librewolf.extensions; [ ublock-origin canvas-blocker wappalyzer user-agent-switcher ]; };Declarative NixOS config. Copy this to your nixos config file to get my exact librewolf config.
I’d never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused
Firefox has telemetry and has become adware. Mozilla VPN ads pop up every once in a while. Sponsored bullshit on the home screen. Pocket integration with recommended/sponsored content. Mozilla’s becoming what it set out to destroy unfortunately.
LibreWolf is Firefox without this garbage, plus more privacy focused defaults. Some of those defaults are rather extreme though so I recommend toning it back (such as deleting history/cookies after every session, and resist fingerprinting can screw up anything that displays time by not taking your time zone into account).
Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry that’s opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesn’t have many privacy protections. Librewolf comes with ublock origin (which blocks trackers and annoyances as well as ads), has extreme fingerprinting protection, and has no google stuff out of the box.
I see you are a man of culture as well
Well shit, now there’s nothing left for Edge to do.
apt-get, bitches.And don’t forget to close the door on the way out!
You misspelled
pacmanThe real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
pre-installed
You don’t use Arch, btw
OUT.
This is now cool people thread.
I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?
But then again, I’m a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.
I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and… um… why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?
apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
The correct way wouldn’t be on windows I can tell you that
Indeed. Linux is superior. Linux > Windows.
I use Arch btw.
Imagine using Windows 😤😤
$ Flatpak install Firefox
sudo pacman -S firefoxdoas emerge firefoxNothing gives a man a greater feeling of power

For work, I have no option other than Windows. Right now, I use a mix of WSL2, winget, scoop to get around which is nice. I get to ignore most of the rough edges of Windows lol
Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.
Tell me how to beat anticheat on Linux? Cuz that’s the only thing keeping me.
To see if the games with anticheat that you want to play are supported on linux, check areweanticheatyet.com they have a pretty huge list of anticheat status where are listed supported, unsupported and denied games.
If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.
If not, you’re probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you’ll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.
