At least Brave asks if I want ads then pays me in shitcoin if I agree.

I'll have to revisit Brave at some point. I was hoping to use FF because Chromium browsers are notoriously shit on Wayland in Linux.

I use all three operating systems, but I'm on Linux 85% of the time or so. Having legit acceleration for video, etc. would be nice.

I use Linux mint 99.9% of the time and Brave does everything I need it to. From live streaming to watching Youtube. I don't do a lot of online gaming or anything massively graphics heavy due to flakey connections, but I see no advantage to Firefox when I use it.

Brave has come a long ways.

If you don't mind my asking, are you running on Wayland or X11? Are you using Nvidia graphics?

Like I said, I haven't looked into this in about six months, so I'm curious if your hardware and configuration is similar to mine. If it is, I need to try some stuff again.

I believe I am running Xfce as a GUI, and I'm not 100% on the graphics at the moment. I have to pop on the laptop later, and I'll try to get you a better answer!

I'm using a midrange laptop from a few years back, so definitely nothing performance based. But it works for video conferencing, streaming and a bit of web work well for my needs.

I dual boot with Windows 10, but never use that. The performance on Mint is way better.

XFCE means you’re using X11.

I’ll still probably try around again. Its about time.

If it's been awhile give Mint a shot. They seem to have a community more focused on supporting a wide variety of drivers and codes than most other distros. Just my experience!
