I find it ironic that some Linux websites load faster on Chrome than Firefox sometime it doesn't even load correctly on Firefox (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

postmarketOS and Arch wiki? That's very weird, aren't both plain mediawiki? Works really well on my Firefox. Even works on SeaMonkey.

EndeavourOS/Manjaro forum probably uses Discourse... I don't get why people like that forum software :/

    I don't either. It hates minority browsers even more than Cloudflare does, doubles down on this by using unnecessary bleeding-edge Javascript constructs, and every instance of it I've ever seen looks ugly as hell.

    feature packed with a really clean and user friendly UI + each distro can easily customize it to add lots of their own brand identity (Manjaro especially appreciates this).

    I don't have a problem with it not loading correctly, and it loads quickly even on somewhat slow internet (using Firefox).

    it feels like a "web app" more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to "load" after loading the page.. unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

    this is personal preference but the ui also feels way too 'simple', hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

    I kind of like this behavior. If you're writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it's almost guaranteed that you'll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

    Don't know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they're usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
