You can call it GNU/Linux if the same name for OS and kernel turns out to be confusing for you.

UBlue developer likes and use Homebrew so he thinks it is essential tool so his distro preinstall it to be better and more “user friendly”.

It’s normal for things to implement stuff from each other? 🤷

Microsoft is late with many things too. And I don’t nessesarly think a feature here and there is what makes a good OS, the base stuff is more important.

Privacy-wise CalyxOS is even better in my opinion.

Tho I really want to run Linux phone.

It may be less private than deGoogled Android right now, but in the long run Android is a dead end.

Yep. Come join in.

Windows is the worst thing that ever happened to computer science.

And I don’t exaclly mean the product itself, but the mindset and habits that came with it.

I am almost certain that the OP was asking about standard GNU/Linux ecosystem borrowed from the desktop, not just some OS that happened to be build on top of modification of Linux kernel.

If it makes tracking hard to impossible then its BASED

But it does not make tracking impossible and only a little harder. From privacy standpoint it’s like using manditory VPN hosted by your carrier. And as we know, you must trust your VPN provider to not log.

And is it worth it? I would much more prefer to have real IP address and be able to host things in my house, including a full speed I2P node that would really make “tracing impossible”. Someone needs to host such nodes.

Privacy fans, choose wisely:

• have CGNAT on carrier side and add little tiny more work to track people
• have public IP, making it easier to selfhost, to build P2P networks, to use anonymizing network like I2P, to host Tor nodes, to reach out to friend without central approved big tech cloud, that you can still hide with your own NAT or by using VPN

Electron?

Linux was ready for ARM years ago.

Sad that we need to wait for Windows to get support first so manufacturers and chip makers start to care.

One thing that could help is showing what is going wrong. Do just the icon does not appear? Do some error show up?

But regardless, I see that Librewolf is not packaged in Debian official software repositories (online storage a software packages are downloaded from), so they ask you to add their own repository manually, which for APT case (package manager in Linux Mint) is an overwhelming amount of code to type to say at least.

You say you are a new user, so I can highly recommend that if something is not officially available through simple apt install to try Flatpak. Official guide: https://flathub.org/setup/Debian, TLDR:

sudo apt install flatpak   # Installs flatpak to your system
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo   # Adds Flathub, the biggest store for flatpaks

Once it’s there:

flatpak install librewolf

Someone using Linux for years might know where stuff on system is placed and not fear not knowing what a command do and how to undo it. But if you don’t know what is happening, better to stick to distribution provided sources. Otherwise the equivalent would be like typing some commands in Windows to change registry keys :). I think Librewolf should recommend Flatpak by default instead.

Sorry if this is too much info, just tried to explain things a little more than usual.

If by working reliably we mean working the same bad way as usual so it has already established multi million dollar industry made of giant patchwork keeping installations alive.

Microsoft cannot even change the look of right click menu without worring something isn’t going to break.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person. I cannot expect much from system where even installing stuff is stuck at pre 2000 era.

It seems like they are subvolumes. How did you install the system?

When mounting a btrfs without any options root/main directory is containg subvolumes. Meaning that when creating a directory it is being created as subvolume, then in that subvolume there are regular files.

What does the btrfs subvolume list / say?

Also as side note, there is nothing wrong with updating on GUI.

I won’t say it’s “best”, as I just want to run a game without friendlists and other bloat, so I really hate the fact Steam is nessesary for so many games.

But I would call it “essentiall”.

Better yet, an adaptive GTK4 app. Hit two birds with one strone.

System76 (a laptop maker “rebrander”) is making their own desktop. Can’t think why ASUS, Lenovo or Dell could not contribute to some desktop or maintain their version.
