The installing, not the webbrowser.

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    dude, don't try to sell me on an easy to configure distro, I'm just finishing up on the configs for my debian home server/sometimes workstation. Definitely don't do it, don't send me down the rabbit hole of reproducebility

    As a programmer, the moment I learned about nixos (here on lemmy, if I recall correctly) I knew that'd be the one I'd pick once I found the time to move to linux. It just seemed like a reasonable way of doing things, you know?

    Bit of a learning curve, but worth it, I believe.

    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

    I need to point out that in this case most probably will be installed snap/flatpack package (unless you mean some UI for native package manager), which is a sandboxed package and can/will have issues with things like file access.

    I use discover on opensuse tumbleweed. Simple, easy, and I can choose the source from flathub and tumbleweed when both are available.

    I did have an issue once but it turned out that it was network related and not my config.

    Well, it's not like problems are guaranteed, most things just work, except maybe Steam.

    I heard there was big investment from Germany into flatpack, I hope it become more polished, it would be great. I do like fully native apps, but I like stability and ease of install better.

    TBF, on Debian apt install firefox installs firefox-esr, and on Ubuntu it's a placeholder that installs the snap package. Both work and are clearly better than downloading from random websites, but they do come with surprises for unsuspecting users.
