Paid apps can also steal user data and also myI'd be way way more concerned about 'free' mobile apps than open source programs.

Mobile apps can and will get a jarring amount of your data just for being installed.

I literally just moved to Gnome 44 from a long time Gnome 3 setup. I only found one extension that makes Gnome 4x feel usable the way gnome 3 was and that's v-shell. If v-shell breaks then I'm never moving to gnome 45.

They should make a new version of Linux from scratch where all you get is the Linux source code and you write the compiler and core utils yourself. Now that would be Linux.

And it's available on Firefox mobile (soon) and it's freaking amazing on mobile.

That's fair and Microsoft fired their entire update testing team and then pushed multiple updates that bricked Windows installs. And that was just Windows 10.

Sick! I just switched to Firefox nightly so I can use ublacklist on mobile.

Also they put ads in search long before Windows did and as much as I hate Microsoft we should never forget that.

I've used a lot of Ubuntu over the years starting on 9.04. Let me tell you the six months releases are ass and always have been.

Also I'm switching to Debian.
