I understand you want people to switch to Linux but

  1. 90 weeks is far away. It drops in October 2025
  2. You'll still get security updates for a few years
  3. After that there will be paid support which people will get around and find ways to install
  4. Windows 10 LTSC (best version of Windows IMO) still exists. The Enterprise LTSC version will have support till 2027 and the IoT version will have support till 2032. You can get them if you know how to look around

It's because VAC kinda sucks. People will rather have a functioning anti-cheat with more access than play with cheaters.

I mean Dolphin gives a prompt for the same thing when I launch it.

They only know Edge because MS shills it hard and Chrome due to years of using it with OEM installs on Android, familiarity with Google services.

Since ads can be really terrible on mobile, then FF + uBO can be suggested to them.

Yup, the AUR is a godsend. I barely touch the other methods and only use AppImages when I'm too lazy.

Not a complete alternative but check out Indie Wiki Buddy extension for independent wikis that are shifting away from Fandom.

mossbag on YouTube has a good video on it.

"Trust me guys, it's 95% better with Proton now" lol

Some of those people need to see all the users asking for help on Linux gaming forums.

Not trying to dismiss that Linux Gaming has gotten better before Proton but it can be an absolute pain at times.

That's a separate issue. The bugs on AdBlock And AdBlock Plus extensions affect not only YouTube but other websites as well (as said by uBO dev). This isn't on google but the extensions themselves.

X is old and works for the most part but fixing stuff or adding features is hard.

Wayland is new and is supposed to be a successor to X, do what it couldn't do and don't repeat the mistakes from it. It should be a drop-in replacement like pipewire but isn't. Features take long time to develop as devs are engrossed thinking of the best solution to make it happen. A lot of proposed solutions are dismissed as well.

And here I am anxious thinking I might offend the devs so I spend way too much time thinking what I've written is not rude
