    No. Windows 11 and Brave are both fucking awful. You should stop using both.

    Also, calling proprietary software “normal” is ridiculous and belies a profound technological ignorance.

    Closed source is not “normal software”. What is so wrong with you that you use terms like that?

      i will copy paste this comment again

      normal as in supported usecase software. linux for general user cases isn’t supported. not even for gaming. it uses this proton thing to translate windows games.

      this by normal i mean natively supported

        So say “supported” or “commercial” software, you muppet. Calling that “normal” is beyond stupid.

            It’s like calling anything except being straight is not normal. That’s just some hardcore corpo bootlicking. You think they are norm because corporations want them to be norm.

            Based on what data? You’re simply wrong and you’re too brain-damaged to know how to see how widely OSS is used in everything, everywhere.

            Get a life, loser.

                Are you a yoga instructor? Because wow, what a stretch.

                “most used PC os” - you mean Windows? The OS that has been steadily losing market share to Mac (Unix-based) and Linux for years? Run by the company that hasn’t created a truly innovative product in years, if not decades?

                Like I said - BASED ON WHAT DATA?

                Fun fact - There are multiple copies of the Linux Kernel on every iPhone ever shipped. The Linux Kernel runs on embedded chips. Windows never has. The same Linux Kernel has also dominated the world’s super-computing rankings for decades. Unlike Windows.

                OSS is used to make films, to send people to space, and to do more good for the whole of humanity than whatever tiny, insignificant slice of the scummy, predatory, for-profit, archaic use case that is the legacy “WinTel PC”.

                Your ideas are old and the world largely moved on from them about a decade ago. Whatever point you thought you were making by calling this insignificant use case “normal” is so laughably childish that nobody with any functioning brain cells needs to engage with these silly ideas with an iota of seriousness.

        I don’t get why people here are being obtuse.

        Linux desktops are still fairly rare, you are right for calling Windows and MacOS “normal”. Nothing wrong with admitting that Linux Desktops are unusual

          video editing,gaming,browsing with hardware acceleration,knowing how to use your pc without searching for terminal commands. having any random pc app work using an exe

          those are the usecases that windows works for ,for the normal user that linux doesn’t.

    My computer is running “xclock” right now, possibly the most normal software ever made.

    I get what you mean, but this was worded quite poorly, like “normal software”?

    However, there is 1 piece of software I can think of where I prefer a proprietary option over the FOSS alternatives… Obsidian - In my opinion it’s easily the best markdown editor and integrated mind mapping tool out there, even just as an MD editor I still think its better than the rest.
