I'm not convinced, that integrating #Brave instead of #Firefox into #Zorin OS 17.3 is the best move. Even though they chose to hide most of the browser’s problematic features (e.g., Brave Wallet, Brave Rewards, Leo AI, Brave Talk, Brave News, Brave’s sponsored background images, etc).

OMG! Ubuntu · Zorin OS 17.3 Released with New Default BrowserThe new Zorin OS 17.3 release is available to download and it includes a number of major changes – like a new default web browser. Based on Ubuntu 22.04

Microsoft Windows alternative Zorin is launching its new version 17.3 while Windows 10 reaching its end of life in October therefore a good replacement.
As a reminder, I personally replaced Windows by Zorin for my professional use since Aug 2024 without any issue. With Zorin OS + GoFAST (incl.Onlyoffice) + BlueMind (mail) you get a full sovereign opensource environment ! ZERO Microsoft lock-in

so #ZorinOS is no longer preinstalling Firefox, claiming Mozilla no longer aligns with their values.
instead they're installing #Brave. you know, the crypto-scam, AI bullshit, money to homophobes browser.
glad to see #Zorin made clear what they do consider to be their values.

🔥 To all users of Zorin OS ‘Lite’: this lightweight version using the #XFCE desktop environment will no longer be developed or maintained beyond Zorin OS 17 and 18 (end of support and maintenance in June 2029).
💡 2 solutions:

@omgubuntu@floss.social Zorin OS, now supports, Nazis.

Imagine being a wealthy CEO who spends his time claiming women belong in the kitchen and should not have control of their own bodies. Or that same CEO claiming black lives do not matter. That same CEO claiming love is only love between a man and woman. That same CEO saying, both LGBTQ+ and trans folk suffer from mental illness. Furthermore, claiming that COVID was a hoax, vaccines kill people, and is a firm, Donald Trump supporter.

You probably think, I am talking about Elon Musk, and you likely support the idea of Tesla going bankrupt, as not to support a Nazi. But who I am actually describing is Brendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Brave Browser, but when you tell people that is the case, people will argue "that is different".

Wechsel zu Linux?

Nachdem ich in den letzten Wochen eine ganze Menge an meinem Internetverhalten geändert habe, beschäftigte ich mich mal mit dem Umstieg von Windows zu Linux . Ich probierte verschiedene Distributionen auf DistroSea aus und habe auch was für meinen Geschmack gefunden. Ich machte ein Backup der Dateien auf meinem Computer. Ich erstelle eine Liste aller wichtigen Programme und prüfte ihre Kompatibiltät zu Linux sowie Alternativen. Am dritten Schritt scheitert der Umstieg vorerst. […]

Encore un truc étrange sur Linux tiens :
J'ai installé un thème d'icones, j'ai fait le tri pour ne garder que les icones d'apps et de folders grosso modo, donc pour toutes les icones "systèmes" on va dire je fallbacke sur Adwaita.

Ça marche SAUF pour l'icone Desktop de la sidebar.

Bon ce qui est bizarre c'est qu'au départ j'avais dit "inherit ZorinBlue" mais balec ça allait quand même chercher les icones Adwaita. Qu'au final je préfère à la réflexion. Mais pourquoi celle du desktop ne veut pas s'afficher ? mystère.
