From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Firefox looks so much better than Chrome (tux.social)

A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

For me its way easier to use a different browser for each use case. Librewolf for something, Mullvad for something else, also Brave, also Vivaldi. 4 different browsers are making my life seriously easy. Why would I stick to 1 browser with many profiles? If something breaks in that one browser (which happens quite often) all I have to do is fire up a different one and try again. Different people different use cases, different streamlines.

If your browser breaks I hope another profile is not broken? Running 4 browsers at a time is seriously problematic for RAM, attack surface, updates etc.

I will do a post on introducing firefox profiles (as they are hidden away) and GUI integration into desktops

Cool. Thanks man. I'm always willing to pick other brains to lessen my ignorance. Looking forward to that post.

In the meantime look at this post about konsole

Use about:profiles in FF to create profiles, run them with firefox -p NAME

Pretty cool read. I just moved away from Gnome to KDE, so this is spot on with the timing. Thank you.
