It is not at all like chrome other than it uses chromium which is not inherently bad, its just googles use of it in chrome that is.

You can turn off like 2 toggle buttons and see nothing related to crypto ever.

Yean chromium itself is not evil, its Google’s use of it in chrome that is evil, people confuse this a lot I think.

I am surprised by the lack of people mentioning brave, i swear it used to be mentioned everywhere.

Did something happen or did a newer better browser come out?

I’d also suggest giving vesktop a try which is a 3rd party discord client, it has some features for fixing certain oddball things that may crop up as well as just various typical 3rd party client things like plugins.

Discord used to say nope to 3rd party clients but there was a change in their tos a few years ago where they are accepted and nearly encouraged.

Hmm I don’t think I did, I think I am allowed to have a different perspective.

It is easier for marginalized people to point the flaws out and forget about it but I think it makes more sense to try to meet it with understanding and then moving on.

That is what combining multiple perspectives will do :)

I mean, sure its a problem, but it seems to be largely just about the one occurance of the problem.

Otherwise it seems like the bulk of the post and vaxrys response to that post are about how it was handled and idk if I would have handled it better if I was in that sort of situation.

When I went into the community briefly both on github and discord I was met with immense help to my problems with hyprland (which I now don’t use just because I realized I didn’t need to mess with window management)

If I recall vaxry is young and has some social nuance to learn, this doesn’t excuse behaviors but I can choose to accept a solid attempt at handling a wrongdoing.

For those of you looking for adobe alternatives the affinity suite is quite good too, I don’t think it is open source and it is not free but you can make a lifetime license purchase that is not really all that expensive, I think it is one of the best adobe alternatives at the moment because it is so similar both in tools and the ecosystem.

At the moment the rest are all ones that compete with specific adobe apps like darktable being better than lightroom as an example.

I like gimp but all of these software alternatives will just land in a similar spot where the only cohesiveness is that the files can be exported/imported between eachother.

for me it usually goes

me: reads the manual, fails, then asks for help

person helping: heres a canned tip

me: didnt help

person helping: you should read the manual

me: no i am beyond that, i need help with my problem

person helping: oh turns out i couldnt actually help you, anyways go try somewhere else

I refuse to use anything that isnt arch based unless its a niche linux distribution for something specific because the arch user repository basically solves the biggest issue for newbies which is getting a grasp of packages for software. it has any of the common software and if you do need to build something from a github repo, that is ofc easy enough on any distro. I’m not the most technically inclined with linux and I use a chatgpt got thingy called code copilot in their search thing and I can use it to solve even really niche problems I have like a USB DAC not being recognized because it doesn’t have the correct read/write permissions. most of the time I just ask basic things like how to get whatever github repo working and it helps me troubleshoot if I run into weird issues. I even got it to help me set up neo-matrix to run in alacrity terminal on bootup, it was a nice introduction to scripting and autostart and stuff when it helped me, so now I have a little bit better grasp on how that all works out.

came here to spread the good word of endeavor os

with the help of chatgpt, this Linux noob is able to use an arch based system no problem! I even get to use better versions of every software I’ve used in the past!
