Linux and Firefox would get updates!

Firefox won't for much longer. Or at least not without significant spyware installed. I'm hoping it gets forked before the new CEO can do too much damage. Sucks that it will split the community with such a small user base already. But I guess that's the point.

What are you smoking

thank you for reassuring me xD

So which browser are you using then?

irotsoma ,
@irotsoma@lemmy.world avatar

Librewolf on desktop/laptop for now. Blocking Mozilla telemetry for now and sticking with Firefox for Android until a better option comes around.

For Android you can use Mull, which is pretty much like if Librewolf had an Android version

Probably every comment but install linux

KillingTimeItself ,

give it the mrchromebox treatment, and then install linux on it. Good shit.

Now my chromebook is an extremely low power idling node for anything i need it to be, with incredibly like UPS standby times.

Which means it's time for you to switch to Linux

Showroom7561 ,

Looks like a Chromebook, which means Linux would be a bit hacky and not guaranteed to work well at all.

mariusafa ,

It's arm right? Just fiddle a bit with the bootloader and that's it. Similar to Andorided phones

Showroom7561 ,

It likely will work, but may not work 100%. It really depends on how popular this laptop is, and how well-supported it is in the linux community.

PoolloverNathan ,

Chromebooks are actually Linux.

xia ,

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Google/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Chrome plus Linux.

milicent_bystandr ,

Ah, the CNG distro. Chrome's Not GNU.

Natanael ,

Yeah not not standard Linux distributions. Getting standard Linux to work requires a bunch of messing with drivers

clawdius ,

it's gotten a LOT less hacky now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6oyqrrXTLM

Showroom7561 ,

Nice! I gave up on Chromebooks after google screwed me over, but back then it was all very much an improvised hack to get Linux on them.

Glad to see that progress has been made!

Pretty sure you could still update manually.

MonkderDritte ,

A chromebook? You can install Linux then.

Big companies want more e-waste for their own bottom lines.

Fuck chrome

Arch. Arch! ARCH!
/pumping_fist_like_Arsenio

ignotum ,

For the love of god OP don't start your Linux journey with Arch
Don't get me wrong, i use it and love it, but don't use it!

I use arch btw

seth , (edited )

They already started their Linux journey with Chrome OS! What's the worst that could happen, they turn a brick into a brick? And the best? @yogi_pogi transcendence 🧘

KillingTimeItself ,

my first proper experience with linux on the regular was manjaro, a week later i manually installed arch and i'm still using it today, 4 years later.

Plus various debian installs on other systems.

By all means, pick whatever you think is correct for you, just be ready to learn lol.

    I can personally recommend Debian with xfce as an alternative to spiral linux

    ColeSloth ,

    I've got this huge fancy samsung tablet from 2015. It's made to be like a table top display. Has a mount on the back to keep it standing up.

    It can't really do anything now. The android version on it stopped being supported by anything. No youtube or Netflix or nothing. There was a bit of homebrew effort to get root and a newer version of android on them about 4 years ago, but it kind of fizzled out. Now it went from a great portable streaming mini TV (what I used it for, anyhow) to e waste.

    Landless2029 ,

    Sounds like a good prospect to try and get lineage on it. Just need to see if anyone has tried.

    https://lineageos.org

    TimeNaan ,

    Try alternative apps such as NewPipe for YT, they might still run on your outdated android.

    Otherwise, there's always LineageOS and other custom ROMs

    MonkderDritte ,

    ARM linux distros, phone nixes, nothing?

    ColeSloth ,

    Nope. It's essentially a samsung tablet with about 2014 samsung tablet specs, only way larger screen. They were made more for retail stores to have set up for customers than for consumer sales, almost. Basically, they missed their mark, so not many were sold. Imagine back in 2015. A nexus tablet was like $100. These things were $600. Galaxy View 18.4" tablet.

    There was a custom that I had found from like 4 years ago, but when the project stopped it was still left with a lot of issues/bugs.

    Praise be to our lord and savior the UEFI Forum, that we might not all meet such a dismal fate.
