Good morning Fedi friends!
I just arrived at my in-laws’ where I only have my #RaspberryPi5 with #Ubuntu as my main computer for the rest of the week. This is my #Linux week*, yay 🐧
Wishing you all a great day! 🌞
*technically 5 full days, but it’s the longest I will have a Linux system as my main computer. I’m excited!

@_elena What is important to remember in this situation is that if you feel like your computer is slow or incapable, then it's not because it is Linux, but because it's being run off of a glorified mobile processor.
I remember people complaining that $100 Android phones were bad compared to $1000 Apple phones. It's not the O/S, it's the hardware. :)

@_elena Pi 5 is quite fast for web browsing. Only bottleneck is the SD card, SSD is recommended way for better experience.

@efialto thanks! so far so good... the only sad thing is that Vivaldi was being glitchy so I had to re-install Firefox (sigh)

@_elena dammit!
The ups and downs of Linux. Still better that being stuck on Chrome or (!) Opera. -

@_elena I am not very aware of the latests news on web browsers, what are the goods of Vivaldi? Or is it for the wrongdoings of Firefox lately (AI etc.)?
I may switch to Vivaldi and keep it even in the fight :)

@_elena yes, it's huge jump in performance! Enjoy, do you plan to do some blog posting about your experience?

@efialto Vivaldi has a built-in feature that blocks trackers and ads and they've taken a very public stance against AI. Plus they run a Fediverse instance.
Conversely, Firefox seems to want to put AI everywhere, its parent company bought and killed Pocket, they had a Fediverse instance that they discontinued... Needless to say I'm NOT a fan of Mozilla

@jan indeed. I'm not sure I will blog about it though... the SD card I'm using has seen quite a few life cycles... Ubuntu... then I wiped it to install Yunohost... then Debian... and now Ubuntu again.
I may invest in some extra microSD cards so I don't have to do all this...
