I remember reading a comment on youtube on another video which mentioned that the download page is an IQ test to determine if a user is worthy of using Debian.

The downloader page has improved after the release of bookworm

I use flatpak and I actually like it. It is one of the ways I can get up to date packages on Debian.

I have been using Firefox since the release of Firefox 57 aka Firefox Quantum in 2017. I love the browser and most of sites run well in firefox. But there have been a few cases where I had to use a chromium based browser.

Firefox + Ublock origin is a great and awesome combo.

I also use Firefox on android. It is okay, but I sometimes feel it is slow at loading some sites. But it is not a big deal.

I use an app called Seal. You could think of it as a fronted for youtubedl. The interface is really beautiful and you can download videos from many different websites.

Another one is ViMusic, this is just an app that streams songs from YouTube music without any ads. edit: fixed spelling of vimusic

But seriously, the website does need a revamp.

Look at the linux mint website, it is so clean, modern and easy to use.

Instead of using Gmaps. You can try

  1. Organic Maps (Simple and clean app that just works)
  2. OsmAnd (Full of great features but it may be too much for you). Supports realtime map update in pro version or the fdroid version.
  3. Magic Earth but i think it is not foss
  4. Mapy.cz uses Openstreetmap but it also does not seem to be foss. But the map is updated in real time.

Oh, also Firefox is the only mainstream browser on Android that supports installing extensions.

Reddit has typing indicators. I did not know that.

But why?

I agree with you. Matrix and xmpp already work pretty well. There isn't really need for another messaging app. There are many other messaging apps as well.

I also switched to linux after using windows for more than 10 years. I still havent gotten used to linux yet. There are still a lot of things I struggle with.

I kind of had difficulty setting up my printer, I tried to install the HP drivers but it did not install. But none of this installation was required because linux supports driverless printing throught the cups service which I wish I knew earlier.

Another is the use of vi text editor, I couldn' t figure out how to even edit the file and save the file🤣.

Yeah many more examples. It is a bumpy ride. But it is all worth it.

So are there any laptops or computers using RISC? First time hearing about this. (edit: fixed typo)
