My opinion on Linux is that it’s (only) good for lightweight computing / mobile computing.

Such as Rasperry pis and Android devices.

I’d consider myself a nerd but still prefer Windows.

Some years ago I was in a Vocational college for IT and I had to deal with Ubuntu, Debian and Opensuse. I hated every second of it. I also had to deal with iMacs but that’s another story.

Yup, all 1, 4 and 5 star ratings are basically useless. They are either bought by competitors to lower their rating or bought by themselves to raise the rating. I’ve seen documentary about this stuff. There are groups on Facebook and Telegram (that’s a massenger like WhatsApp) where you get product XY for free (mostly trash from aliexpress/Alibaba) for a 5 star rating.

Amazon is filled with dropshipping products from Aliexpress/Alibaba

IF there is going the be a subscription based windows version, it’s most likely going the be the cloud version of Windows 11

what is a hexbear?

not only political but also a jojos reference

Which byproducts, Isn’t salt water just water + salt?

Or do you refer to the machine?

You spelled Diamond Mafia wrong.

I already did.

Nope. First of all I only had one problem and only with Firefox. Second the phrase is also usable in this case. If I change my dns settings in my system (or my router), there is a chance that ALL applications have a problem with resolving URLs. Making most changes only on application layer did save me alot of time which others had to use for troubleshooting.

The phrase is an old school principle of German server admins. Backups were super expensive back then and rolling back the system after an “upgrade” or “change” did also cost ALOT of money.

The original phrase was altered and used to be a sports thing (from baseball I believe). It used to be “never change a winning team”

no the browser is the one to blame because the same settings which work in Opera don’t work in Firefox. I know I could change my dns system wide but it’s a personal preference to only make small changes to a running system.

There are 3 options for dns over https in Firefox and none of them work. disabling it obviously doesn’t work too because Firefox uses my ISP’s dns service then.

Windows users are not the ones who spam the lemmy front page with WiNdOwS bAd memes

system wide changes tend to create system wide problems. Never touch a running system.

Because Google Chrome was slowly filling up my hard drive with temp files. I regualry had to delete mutlipe GB of temp files. With Opera GX I have only 200 MB

it still doesn’t work though 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for your effort. I will just keep using opera gx, not the best browser in terms of privacy but at least it works out of the box
