Ubuntu.

Why? - I guess I’m too lazy for distro hopping now :(

Besides, this was the 1st Linux distro I tried back in 2005. After the usual ditro hopping phase was over, I settled on it; somehow (irrespective of snap and other controversies) I feel at home.

It’s an open source product, in case you have concern about possibility of malicious code embedded within it.

At least there is no such indication so far from Mozilla :(

For gaming on Linux, use latest release (e.g. v575) of Nvidia driver. And for everything else stick to production release (e.g. v570).

If you have read the article, then this is more akin to switching from using two condoms to just one.

While that’s true, but the main issue here is the unavailability of frequent security patches that Fedora now appears to be attempting to solve with X11Libre.

Mozilla should make Fakepost source code open-source so that people (with right hardware) can self-host it.

I’m also exactly on the same boat as you; I use Fakepost frequently and now it will be canned by Mozilla. The alternative I found is https://reviewmeta.com/, but it’s quite slow and can’t cover all domains of Amazon.

Playing was almost as thrilling as seeing it work.

This is GOLD!

Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn based on Debian.

Mint is neither developing OS, or Linux kernel from scratch.

On the other hand, Mozilla is maintaining Firefox browser and most importantly Gecko JS engine all by itself.

Browser codebase is really complex and requires dedicated dev effort.

You can use Cosmic DE on any device that can run Linux. You do NOT need to purchase System76 laptops for that.

Stick to Production version of Nvidia Linux driver - v550, v570. I’m using v570 on Ubuntu 25.04, no issue in either day to day work or in gaming.

Did you compile the kernel by yourself, or used Mainline to install?

Yes, Gnome extensions shall be impacted once again for sure. But, at least that is not a deal breaker for me.

I guess it takes time to built a DE from scratch.
