Don't know what the fuck is going on there, but that's not installing a browser.

Literally easier than Windows.

People are falling for this and downloading software from unofficial websites.

Linux is super easy.

• Debian-based: # apt install firefox
• Red-Hat-based: # dnf in firefox
• Arch: # pacman -S firefox

Add programs.firefox.enable = true; to configuration.nix.

Call sudo nixos-rebuild switch. Maybe add --flake if you're feeling adventurous.

Done.

Or, more realistically...

programs = {
    firefox = {
        enable = true;
        # Configure anything you want here (language,
        # extensions, policies... whatever).
    };
    # Enable and configure other programs here.
};

... and keep the whole thing in a git repository to track changes and have it available for other machines.

Real Linux users use Lynx because they fucked up their XF86Config.

i think i never even used a terminal to install a browser and i dabbled with linux on and off for over a decade now. there was always a gui to install a browser. well, not on arch in 2014 but back then i never made it past a half broken desktop enviroment. so my point still stands technically.

What distros are ya'll using that firefox isn't installed by default?

Installing a flatpack looks different on my system.

The installing, not the webbrowser.

There are several gui applications for your package manager you can use to install various browsers.

This ironically fits more to windows users trying to uninstall edge

High-jacking the thread a bit.

As anyone tried Midori recently. I remembered about it this past weekend and when searching I was impressed with the project page.

Installed it on my phone and my computer.

On Android it is not ready yet. Maybe for tablets. The browser did not resize to fit the screen. It also felt heavy. Removed after a few tentative uses.

On PC, the same feeling of being heavy, slow moving. It took a long time to open and start navigating. My computer is not new but it carries itself well enough to start FF in a few seconds.

That's not installing Firefox, that's https://github.com/dustinkirkland/hollywood

yay -S librewolf done

Live by the cli, die by the cli.

Nope just use w3m it's better

im the most tech savvy in my household. compared to general people, im still a normie.

my personal pc is linux based and whenever someone asked to use my pc for general purpose i have to do the terminal dance. now for some of you that may be easy but for me it's annoying. not to mention that i have goldfish memory so i have to duckduckgo which dependancy i need, troubleshooting and look for dependancy just to make my vlc support certain kind of media or connecting apple device to the pc.

im planning to distro hop to an easier one but im dreading to do the terminal dance all over again.

worth mentioning, my kb Fx keys are unusable for almost a year now and i exhausted all possible way to fix it. my steam streaming also outputting blank screen. i just dont have the urge and will to fix it
