Soo, booting your computer from someone else's computer?
I mean we've had thin clients and PXE for ages?

DDG has also gotten much worse since the introduction of AI features.
Thanks I might try that. Unfortunately I can't mount everything at boot, because that would take forever with some slow NAS around the network.
Yeah, though I presume I'd need to set xdg values so mounted shares through nautilus will show up in programs/interfaces. I'll look into it, thanks.
For me the direct opposite is true. About two years ago Google stopped giving me any accurate results, feeding me a bunch of semi-related garbage instead. DuckDuckGo feels like the Google of old: results that actually (literally) contain the terms of the query and not much else. I'd hate using the internet without it.
Honestly all this feels like the railway's Dieselization 100yrs ago. When the end of steam powered engines was drawing near, coal hauling railroads and Baldwin Locomotive in the U.S. tried all kinds of whacky and hilariously inefficient engine designs, just to keep the ol' ways alive... none of these worked out - everyone who stuck to it lost hugely.

I think a lot comes down to preinstalled SW on phones (Chrome/Safari) and the enterprise world. My rather large employer just switched from FF preinstalled to Edge for all work devices since it alreadz comes with Windows.
Maybe Firefox is missing a really compelling enterprise offering for Desktops? Everybody less savvy is on mobile anyways, which is dominated by the Duopoly Apple/Google.
Actually in my country DuckDuckGo is the only reliable search engine left. Google started giving me a bunch of bogus results for very specific queries a couple of years ago. Sad that FF depends so much on Ma'Google.
Leider ist das Schreiben gerade für Senior:innen ein großes Problem. Das sollte nicht legal sein.

Actually, if Linux/BSD/... doesn't work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux's usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS's quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.
