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 ain’t really his top.

He said in the video that he uses Floorp and Chromium so he can’t put them in another tier.

What he thinks is best is in the tier under.

[–] dusk@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago

So he has ungoogled chromium, and floorp as top tier, uses them, but doesn't see them as the best

Then he has vivaldi, watefox, librewolf, and zen in 2nd tier, but they are the best ones?

It's like a tier list on reddit, someone just wanting to look at the pretty pictures while not making much sense

Some obvious omissions too: firedragon, mullvad, tor, ddg
