apt-get, bitches.And don’t forget to close the door on the way out!
The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
pre-installed
You don’t use Arch, btw
You mean “pre-installed with most DEs”…
Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won’t be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.
I think it’s just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.
KDE on Arch didn’t install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.
OUT.
This is now cool people thread.
Eh, Debian still ships ESR
I miss the days when they shipped Iceweasel.
And ESR kinda sucks if you want an updated browser.
You misspelled
pacmanyay your ass outta here
Get rid of that old yay yay ass haircut
Arch puns. As an Arch user, I admit this is hilarious.
I use Arch btw.
I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?
But then again, I’m a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.
I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and… um… why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?
apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
apt is a wrapper of a wrapper for dpkg.
That’s like dnf is a wrapper for yum which is a wrapper for rpm.
sudo apt-get install bitches bitches not found🙁
programs.librewolf = { enable = true; extensions = with pkgs.librewolf.extensions; [ ublock-origin canvas-blocker wappalyzer user-agent-switcher ]; };Declarative NixOS config. Copy this to your nixos config file to get my exact librewolf config.
I see you are a man of culture as well
As a dev, a declarative OPERATING SYSTEM is a literal dream. Nix shells are really nice too.
Hell yeah it is
One day, one day I’ll be brave enough to use it.
i love you
is this nixos or home manager?
they look exactly the same
It’s technically an invalid config (the extensions part), but other than that it’s using home manager.
I think NixOS, I believe in HM you declare extensions per-profile
I’d never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused
Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry that’s opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesn’t have many privacy protections. Librewolf comes with ublock origin (which blocks trackers and annoyances as well as ads), has extreme fingerprinting protection, and has no google stuff out of the box.
Firefox has telemetry and has become adware. Mozilla VPN ads pop up every once in a while. Sponsored bullshit on the home screen. Pocket integration with recommended/sponsored content. Mozilla’s becoming what it set out to destroy unfortunately.
LibreWolf is Firefox without this garbage, plus more privacy focused defaults. Some of those defaults are rather extreme though so I recommend toning it back (such as deleting history/cookies after every session, and resist fingerprinting can screw up anything that displays time by not taking your time zone into account).
Great! Keep digging, keep asking the right questions and ultimately you will just collect enough reasons to simply not use any other browser, until something even better will appear.
Firefox is the Firefox we all really need and LibreWolf is the Firefox we deserve.
sudo pacman -S firefoxI use arch btw
I also use Arch btw.

pacmansupremacynix-shell -p firefox
Wait how is your pfp spinning?
On Kbin, you can set a gif as your pfp.
Spin.
The correct way wouldn’t be on windows I can tell you that
Indeed. Linux is superior. Linux > Windows.
I use Arch btw.
yay -S firefox
Imagine using Windows 😤😤
$ Flatpak install Firefox

Tell me how to beat anticheat on Linux? Cuz that’s the only thing keeping me.
To see if the games with anticheat that you want to play are supported on linux, check areweanticheatyet.com they have a pretty huge list of anticheat status where are listed supported, unsupported and denied games.
If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.
If not, you’re probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you’ll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.
Give me a little LPT - how do you search for results within a date range?
Which games do you play? The only game holding me back was tarkov but I randomly decided to put Linux on one of my drives to see what I could/couldn’t do and I was able to get it working with proton. Probably going to switch over completely soon after I play around with it a bit more
Path of Exile, MapleStory, League of Legends, WoW private servers song other things.
League of Legends does work under linux without any anticheat issue, there is even a script done for lutris and an aur package to setup the game, on lemmy there is leagueoflinux where to ask for help.
Path of Exile works great on Linux.
Very easy,don’t play those games :)
This is the way
For work, I have no option other than Windows. Right now, I use a mix of WSL2, winget, scoop to get around which is nice. I get to ignore most of the rough edges of Windows lol
Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.
Imagine having to spend 30 minutes just to run a specific software from Windows
Downvote for using Windows.
I want to downvote and upvote this comment at the same time
Why can’t we do that, anyways?
Been thinking that there should be an option to sidevote in such cases…
Firefox is installed by default on my Linux distro, though
If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version
or enable flatpaks >:)
But still remove the snap version.
Well shit, now there’s nothing left for Edge to do.
$ flatpak install app/org.mozilla.Firefox 😎

Good point

I liked the obsolete shim for that:
