Can you reproduce this in troubleshoot mode or with a new profile?

It can already do that as long as your desktop environment uses portals. You just need to set the appropriate about:config flag or envvar.

Local translation was never available in xul extensions. What are you referring to?

Thanks, I’ll adjust my claim to 5 years. I must have misremembered re the longevity of security updates.

For phones, new pixel with grapheneos.

The new pixel phones have 5 year support windows now.

Phoronix has always had a strong editorial bias. No mention that Firefox has recently caught up on Speedometer 3 or the other benchmarks Firefox is faster than Chrome in.

I think this is a bit misleading.

Most or at least the majority of distros offer the proprietary nvidia driver.

Pop, Zorin, Ubuntu, Garuda, etc just bundle it in the install media as an option.

The difference is absolutely negligible.

I would report a bug to Mozilla on that one if you can consistently reproduce with a new profile.

Thanks, that’s interesting. Do they only update the cinnamon parts, or is there something else more substantial that is updated?

Or violentmonkey for a FOSS tampermonkey compatible alternative.

Is that not the same as Mint? Both are based on Ubuntu LTS.

I like Mint a lot, and have it running on one of my computers, even though it’s not my daily driver.

However, I recently tried Zorin just to see what the fuss is about and honestly I can’t see many reasons to recommend Mint above Zorin to new users. Both are based on Ubuntu LTS and have a bunch of tools to allow purely graphical management and Zorin has several windows-like layouts (both 10 and 7) that are more polished in my view, but Zorin also has the benefit of a more modern compositor and DE base with Wayland support, being based on gnome and mutter.

I’d be interested in your perspective, as from my end the only reason now to recommend mint (until muffin gets sufficiently modernised) would be if you knew a user would prefer cinnamon’s slightly more traditional feel (almost XP), or if in the future LMDE became more of an important feature.

The upgrade is super seamless though. Basically bulletproof in my experience over many releases.

Plenty.

For older cards that do have reclocking, it works exceptionally well, including for gaming.

For many newer cards, even though it won’t reclock it will get you into a desktop, and even give you a good accelerated wayland experience.

Moving forward, once the new open source nvidia kernel driver and nouveau bits land, and the driver matures it will probably be the best nvidia driver on linux.

I don’t know of a distro that writes tools in it, but my favourite terminal emulator ever, tilix, uses it.

To the foundation for their advocacy.

This is not correct.

arewefastyet.com shows very clearly that although chrome beats firefox in some benchmarks, firefox trades blows with it and is similar to or faster in others.

Why would you be running apt upgrade on live images?
