Weird that they'd actively block higher resolutions on linux, it certainly doesn't stop their shit from getting pirated in windows.

No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming

Is that actually a thing? Firefox has a drm button toggle and prime worked fine last time I used it.

poorly written code and tight code

This is where you guys lose me, it's just code that not optimized for size and that's because most people don't give a shit about that. People want want their 4k assets, their localization, their accessibility features, their application to run on any device... All this comes at a cost. You want to change things, that's fine, but start by understanding why things are the way they are because shitting on developers won't get you anywhere.

Firefox knows the difference though, it won't pull your passwords or login cookies. But yeah, it's very easy to fall for phishing attempts, I just never click on anything sent in a mail to be safe.

I've had librewolf specific bugs absent in firefox, definitely not a strict upgrade.

It's little grievances that eventually pile up and one day you'll just have had enough and switch.

Is that actually a windows thing though? I know i can set up that shit in the mobo's bios, from turning on the computer at specific times to keeping the peripherals on when shutdown.

Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here's the gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?

Literally never heard of it before. Please don't recommend tiny distributions to new users, they're a pain to debug due to the lack of information, and they typically have much less support.

drivers for software

That's not a thing.

theme brings drivers

Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.

only working on Windows

OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.

They can't be too heavy handed, otherwise they'll end up with another IE lawsuit that fucked them over. Instead what you have is windows slowly creeping up the enshittification, slowly pushing the boundaries of what they're allowed to do, and doing so regionally too, with the EU getting less shit shoveled in.
