Wait for real? I feel like that's their only marketing point sometimes ๐

I'd go with either Firefox or Thunderbird. Both are immensely useful pieces of software that I use on a daily basis, and have evolved (mostly) nicely over time.
Not to give Mozilla too much credit, Nextcloud is also pretty slick!
For me it was a couple reasons:
-
my brother installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop for me when I was in high school, and I was enamored with the different desktop layout. It got me started on the journey.
-
maintaining it is much easier than windows. Running one command/script to update a system is much faster than heading to the right window or menu and hoping Microsoft delivers you an update. Plus if it breaks it's easier IMO to troubleshoot and fix.
Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.
Ah, the way god intended it.
Ryzen 7 5800X w/ be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler
ASRock X570 motherboard
32GB (16GB x 2) DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz. Corsair LPX
EVGA FTW 3 RTX 3080 Ti (snagged used for $615!)
1TB Intel 670p SSD (Windows 11), 500GB Samsung 970 Evo SSD (Manjaro), 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD, 3TB WD Red HDD
Corsair 750W PSU (I forget the model, and yes I know it's a little low-powered for my GPU. It's a holdover from when I had a 5700 XT and 3600X)
Fractal Meshify 2 Compact case.
Dual-booting Windows 11 and (as of today) Manjaro. I had been running good ole' Linux Mint for awhile but got bored and tried something else.
That is a good point, and in my experience Firefox has just kinda sucked less in the last couple of years. But of course that's anecdotal so doesn't really mean much lol
