That's a relief!

You could take a look at Kodi for more of a "smart TV" vibe. I'm currently running it on a RPi 4 using the LibreELEC OS (very minimal Debian based distro), and I'm really happy with it. I'm mostly using it to watch YouTube, our country's national TV and my locally stored series and movies.

It's always worked. "Divide et impera" is a Latin phrase for a reason, it was how Philippus II of Macedonia described how he conquered a large part of current Greece.

On a head cheese sandwich. I had to look up the English term because head cheese sounds really weird, we call it hoofdvlees (head meat) or preskop.

I call bullshit on this, e.g. "de aanrecht" sounds just plain wrong. I know that people in the Netherlands are often using the wrong gender, which always sounds weird to me.

Words that change meaning with different genders (e.g. "de aas" and "het aas") are kinda cool tho.

I understand it can be quite confusing. There's a lot of French loanwords, especially here in Flanders, and there's a lot of regional differences, both between Flanders and the Netherlands, and within Flanders. We can pinpoint the province, sometimes city of most native Flemings even if they don't speak true dialect but generic tussentaal.

That would be patatten. The Dutch call fries friet or patat (always singular), we (Flemish) call them frieten (plural). The Walloon probably call them frites?

I've never heard someone use curve in this way, and I've been on the internet for quite a while.

We have daily meetings in the software team just to battle this

Ah, Stekene. Where are the days I just went to Crammerock to smoke weed on the camping. I saw Gorki there the year Luc De Vos died.

I'm not arguing that people are switching to Firefox. I'm only saying that your argument about FF on Linux is just plain wrong.

I also prefer the UI/UX of FF over Chromium based browsers, but that's very subjective of course.

I've been using FF (and Thunderbird) for about 5 years now on my dual core old laptop running Gentoo, and it's always run pretty smooth. Especially when they switched to the Quantum web engine.
