Thank god for librewolf, they fix most of the new Mozilla bullshit.
I'm an old man browsing this on LibreWolf on a Linux Mint desktop. If I can do it, anyone can.
Having said that, running across a FOSS app that only runs on Windows that I want to run, has me thinking I need to rebuild and dual boot Win 10 IOT. Frustrating. I just learned that while installing Linux next to Windows works, because of course it does, installing Windows next to Linux does not. Because, again, of course, Windows is an asshole. So, that means I'd need to nuke Linux, install Windows, then reinstall Linux. And, that seems like... a lot. I might still do it, though.
EDIT: The app I want to run needs access to my nvidia card. So a VM won't work, I already tried it.
I was recently wiping data out of one of my disks intending to sell it. There was a windows system installed there, which I wanted to get rid off anyway, so I let the process run while I was taking a nap. When I woke up and restarted the system I was very surprised to see that now my Linux system is missing and nothing works anymore except BIOS. Turns out I deleted my bootloader. I managed to fix it but It was stressful as hell (remember to backup your system, I didn't).
Weird things can happen during dual booting but it's all a life lesson, a lot of fuckery especially with windows, which likes to mess things up.
you could run a virtual machine on linux with windows on it, dual boot can be a pain in the ass to use.
librewolf is good but they're just a profile wrapper for uplink firefox with limited developers.
Yeah, they are doing everything they can to fix that mess, but there are some things that are impossible to fix. Mozilla kinda sucks now, but the alternatives suck even more so I'm staying with Librewolf, for now
