What web browser requires you to add a repo to install it on Linux

[-] oo1@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

People need to stop being such noobs, getting software from repo.
It's crazy to trust precompiled software force fed to people by evil-big-foss corporations.
Real pros check every line for malware each time there's an update and compile from source.

Noob. How can you trust the underlying libraries and assembly code those functions/methods are coming from? Better get a debugger and watch those CPU registers while it's running.

Firefox Flatpak? :D

Debian comes with ESR only. You have to add repos to get standard or beta.

[-] julianh@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Oh weird, I suppose that makes sense for debian though where the goal is to be stable rather than be up-to-date.

[-] 0oWow@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I understand, but Debian is about the only release I've found so far that is actually stable. Other releases claim stability and don't offer it.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
