From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's what set me free to move to Linux for good! It's such a relief to not be affected by all the bullshit Microsoft brings to the world with Windows 11+.
Now we just need to worry about Google's web environment bullshit!
"just"... Enshittification is too real. :(
Back to the command line browsers
I would almost prefer it. Javascript is the herpes of html, and the majority of websites now are just completely infested with it. I don't know if these companies are actually visiting their own sites, but it's horrible. Ton's of wasted data and time on this garbage. I have been going in and turning off javascript just to keep all of the shit from popping up, covering the screen, etc. So yeah, a command line browser sounds pretty fucking good again.
I still use Lynx to get around paywalls.
