Yeah, but I see it as a pro and a con. With previous browsers I used like Mull, Fennec and Bromite, the store versions usually lagged behind, usually due to FDroid shenanigans, and downloading it from the source eliminates the middleman. While it is more work, I do use my browser for many important things, so I feel like it's worth it for my use case.

I use Pegasus at the moment as it's extremely customizable, although it does have a bit of a learning curve since you do most things through media.txt files. You can configure launch commands, box art/media/videos through an external scraper (I use Skyscraper), and you can point to bash files which opens up use of the terminal for basically anything you want to do OS side. It also has many different themes, basic metadata, and sorts games by system.
Emulation station is also another popular choice and is more out-of the-box minded bit still requires a bit of know how.
I also really like Playnite because it's video game sorting heaven, but sadly it's windows only and is really janky in wine/lutris. I eagerly await the day a working linux port arrives.
I second this, I greatly prefer news from real people with their own style, especially when there's so much ai stuff and corporate boringness elsewhere. I'd love to see a part 5, good job!
Edit: Part 5!
Welcome! 196 (you are here) and Privacy are the main reasons I come to lemmy. Some hidden gems I enjoy are Creepy Wikipedia and Desire Paths
Littetally. I found it fishy that Brave suspiciously scored so well. Half of those browsers are just modified Chromium anyway including Brave, and Brave has made some suspicious marketing decisions which is why I dont really trust them. If you're curious look into their history involving crypto and advertising.
The only good ones I'd recomend are Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, and Tor. They're really the only ones that even try to combat fingerprinting.
I still don't see Mozilla as a bad actor, especially in comparison with the villany that is google and microsoft. It's still a great alternative for privacy newbies and average users, although I personally made the switch to librewolf (desktop) and iceraven (mobile) a while ago. Both being forks of firefox, development for actual firefox is essential for either of these to survive, so Mozilla still has my support albeit indirectly
One area of The Talos Principle is set in Greco-Roman ruins. It captues a very specific tone. The puzzles are fun too
I also enjoy dualsense and there is definitely quality there, but I could not get it to work with a handfull of emulators on linux for some reason. I'm sure there could be some tinkering to do to get it working but I've just been using xbox series for plug n play
Not generic, but I've been using Xbox Series controllers with LMDE. They were plug n play and work flawlessly out of the box. I've used them with both bluetooth and wired and have had no problems with emulation and steam. You'd probably save more buying a used xbox controller for about $30-$50 than trial and error with cheaper off-brand gamepads
Texas brisket was honestly a close second for me. It's so good when it's done right.
I totally agree on the West coast pick. San Diego and Tijuana have some of the best mexican food anywhere, and it greatly outshines the other food in the area
Very nice! I will look into using it
