After 30 years with Linux, I decided to try Windows 11. Here's a list of everything that went wrong.

    I installed Opera and used it exclusively.

    Why do people use Opera? It’s a proprietary Chrome fork owned by a Chinese company.

      There was a lot of BS advertising not long ago about it being a web browser “for gamers”, whatever that means.

      Perhaps for old time’s sake. It used to be using its own engine.

        Yep. People have a bad habit of sticking to their habits beyond the point of usefulness. Myself included.

          Chrome opera doesnt even resemble old opera. Vivadli is closer, and is led by the same guy that led old opera.

      Chinese company

      ??? It being Chinese has fuck all to do with Opera’s issues.

      And for anyone reading, just use Zen Browser, it is amazing.

        US has NSLs. I expect China has the same. Better to avoid companies from such dangerously authoritarian regimes.

          That doesn’t mean much tho, because authoritarian is basically a buzzword. Every single state in existence is authoritarian by nature. I recommend the very short read “On Authority” by Engels. That being said, if you are worried about your data being used, specially for nefarious reasons, being concerned with the US having access to it is pretty valid since they are the country on earth that loves to invade and bomb anyone that dares breath wrong, but I can’t see the same worry about other countries, specially China being very valid.

          You’re gonna come up with an actual argument or just demonize me because I’m a communist?
