Hey DistroFriends,
I am now living in Fedora 30 Beta on hardware as my only operating system. I am not a newbie to Fedora 30. I was playing with it on hardware in Rawhide. But the install went okay ( for a Fedora install ). I really think Fedora needs to step out of the forest and look at the trees. They need to offer another release model to compete with Mint. They are losing thousands of potential Fedora fans, if not hundreds of thousands. One of DistroTube's videos about things to do after installing Fedora, needs to be done by Fedora automatically. I think all I have left to do is set up my Brother printer and Brother scanner, and make sure my favorite apps are all installed. I will probably only use this install about 10 hours per week, as my go to is either Netrunner Blackbird or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or SparkyLinux 5, but that is only due to limited time. I just do not have enough time right now to play with Arch or Gentoo, but that all is on my bucket-list.
My Intel i5-3470 is churning around 12% on each of the 4 cores, with memory while watching this video in Firefox 66 is 1.8 GB.
GIMP is not pre-installed, but enough basic stuff is to get you up and running. Kernel is 5.0.0. There were some updates to install, from Software Center ( for the newbies ). I clicked on it and it seemed to update without a problem. I did not like that the maximize/minimize window button are not on by default. But I am experienced enough to tweak things the way I want, and I guess that is Fedora's ideology.

i use differnet browsers for diffenent tasks. For single-site webservices, where need to keep one Site open as a Service, i use Surf. Perfect to show a single website, frameless, no fance features, just view the website and use it. If i need the the browser rather bound to my filesystem, when researching and downloading stuff, i use qutebrowser, since i can highly customize it vim/sed style and use it like a -vim/vifm) webbrowser- my dayly driver is Firefox. basicly the swiss army knife. i can get all my tasks done with it. with quite some comfort. But a Swiss army knife is a swiss army knife, but not a proper knife when to do a specific task, that needs a real knife. my cosy and lazy ultra comfort browser is vivaldi. out of the box multi tabbed tiling browser with seperate sync between various machines, shortcuts, customizations etc etc. For the lazy after hours slack time.

Since Chromium is already available on Linux.... (1) Do we need another browser based on Chromium? NO! and (2) Do we really trust Microsoft? HECK NO!!!!!! Edge!?!?!?! Can we say... Maybe.... Trojan Horse To The Data-Spy Maximus!!!! I understand your stance on the Chromium Engine. But for me, Chromium always works better and faster than Firefox. We need to have another Browser War like we had back in the late 90's and early 2000's! IMO... All of the current browsers and their engines have stagnated in the past decade. Browsers are becoming an OS in their own rights and need to be re-coded/optimized. There have been no innovations in the browsers I have used in years.

I'm using vivaldi browser, maybe some of you know it. It allows me to set custom shortcuts, also I can use Vimium extension,and this combo is great for me. I really wanted to give firefox a try, when I heard that it has Vimperator and Pendatactyl extensions. But then I could not install the extensions, because firefox completely changed its plugins system after 56-th release. Now, I guess it uses chromium extensions, dunno. If Firefox kept its system, I would totally use it. Also, there is qutebrowser, but it's not working for me, vimium is much better in my opinion

Mozilla joined Soros' anti-fake-news campaign
Mozilla installs closed source Ad-ware without user consent
Telemetry can not be fully disabled in Firefox
Mozilla focus is to subvert meritocracy and promote diversity
Firefox places ads on your home page by default
Firefox is maintained by Mozilla, whose main source of revenue is Google. Donations to Mozilla do not go towards Firefox development.

From what I've read, it seems like a/the big reason Microsoft chose Chromium because that's what Electron uses. So not only will Google dominate the web (heh, as if it doesn't already), but also has a hand all up in your desktop apps. To be fair, I'm not sure to what extent in the case of Electron.

One of the main reasons for the port is for their WSL services & now with WSL 2. It's supposed to have a -real- Linux kernel and besides the Docker stuff, you can run a full blown desktop environment. It's really just a fancier virtualization machine.

It's a great new. Microsoft had terrible browser in the past, giving headaches to every web page builder. Google and Mozilla have always been follows the standard. The disappearance of Edge and Explorer will simplify the life of a lot of peoples.

The web is already dead. Corporations and advertising dominate to the point of infestation. The best option at this point is to literally let them have it. Users should look for something else, gopher, ftp, even bbs would be a better choice.

Firefox is not good enough for web developers, chrome dev tools are just too strong.
For non-developer users, Firefox is better because they have rewritten the render engine with Rust, which is safer but with the same speed of C/C++.
