This is a trick question, the real answer is that there weren’t real communist countries
1 - YMMV, as I mentioned
2- as a consequence, popular distros like Ubuntu and Fedora too. I expect other GUI’s and therefore distros to follow
3- Didn’t mean to imply they don’t, what I meant is that they have issues and will make users jump to other ships.
4, 5 and 6, Lutris and later Steam itself when I was running out of ideas, and yes it does run on Linux as long you can figure out the correct proton/wine version or buy the game from Steam. Point here was that gaming on Linux can be convenient or very annoying, depending on the games you want to play. YMMV

If you have an old nvidia card, you’re going to have issues with some games. BF4 for example, no matter what you do you will have lag and stutter
There’s wayland and lack of support for nvidia cards, and major distros and GUI’s dropping x11 in favour of wayland (regardless of whose fault it is or if it’s good or bad in grand scheme of things, whoever has an nvidia GPU is going to be forced to use other distros or windows)
And then the whole proton and wine stuff… I just installed CoD 2 and had to fetch some commands in order for it to run, else it crashed after playing the first cut scene. And then there are other games, like Divinity dragon commander, that I couldn’t figure how to get it to run. Tried several proton versions, none of them launched the game. My fault or ignorance? Perhaps, but on windows it would run first try.
It was the inverse for me. Windows 7 was always a nightmare to set up drivers, it was common to manually download the wifi drivers from the laptop’s brand website. I groaned whenever someone asked me to help set up their PC.
Windows 10 just works out of the box. The only downside for me is aesthetics, I always preferred Aero.
Just correcting because your comment insinuated that google doesn’t have significant influence over android, which is far from the truth. They could as well own it.
I didn’t mean to dispute or address the rest of the comment.
The Android Open Source Project isn’t owned by Google
One of those things that technically is true but in practice it isn’t. Just like chromium. Google is the main influencer of the project and it’s naive to think otherwise.
the symbol was making me think it was a cryptocurrency
Sorry, could you repeat that? Slower, if possible
Can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not
if you’re interested in alternatives with adblockers:
As a piece of software, nothing. It’s an open source browser, and has an added bonus of having many privacy settings on by default. Not even firefox can say the same, it comes with telemetry, pocket and whatnot out of the box.
But there are some fair criticisms about the company and its administration. For example, there was an incident years ago when you signed on a crypto exchange, it would swap the sign on link for their own referral link. They claimed this was an error and quickly patched it, but I don’t buy it.
You’ll quickly notice that a lot of people on lemmy passionately hate brave. So expect a strong bias and, as a result, truths but overblown, half truths and misinformation. Don’t ignore what they say but double check them.
