I know it's called plasma, and I don't know if it's actually plasmas fault, don't judge me, it's for the meme

    AUR waterfox-bin, btw (Β¬β€ΏΒ¬") I'm almost glad to have made the mistake to install Arch because through AUR I don't have to get involved in these flatpack/snap/appimage wars xD (also because I have no clue what I am doing, but don't tell anyone)

    ahah lol that's fair, i maintain the flatpak so whenever i see someone with Waterfox on Linux I get curious. Love the AUR but I'm mostly on immutable distros so I don't get to use it qwq

    This is unrelated but what's the appeal toward immutable distros to you?

    I don't mean this in a hostile way I'm genuinely curious to know. I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.

    Immutable distros are actually easier to customize and tinker with than traditional distros, while being safer. Example: Universal Blue

    Basically what IverCoder said, but also sometimes I like not having to tinker with my desktop at all. I'm running through an Arch Install on my Thinkpad right now just for the fun of it and I do love this kind of thing, but I'll admit the concept of plugging in a USB stick, installing a distro in one click, downloading my apps through Flatpak and not having to mess with the CLI a whole bunch is very appealing. Yes you can do that with Ubuntu or whatever but (at least in my workflow) you still have to mess with the CLI a bit.

    Basically, I like messing with Linux sometimes but other times I just want a, I suppose Windows-like experience while still having Linux under the hood.

    Just curious, what makes Waterfox different from Firefox?

    Waterfox is an independent fork of Firefox developed by Alex Kontos. It has several added features such as tracking protection, built in container tab support (eg private browsing in the same window, very neat feature), and Mozilla's telemetry is disabled too. It's a lovely little browser in general, I don't know why I love it so much tho, you could achieve the Waterfox experience with Firefox and some addons probably. Perhaps it's just the appeal of a (more or less) independent project to me, I don't know. It has some history too like I think it supported x64 on Windows before Firefox did but I'm not a long time user so that might be wrong. I'd give the website a once-over if you're interested.
