Just like us.

Of course, that's precisely the point.

But the way people use the web has evolved

Er... nope.

Cute.

From the description it feels like you're not exiting full screen mode within the game before switching to other applications. Try the same key combination you use to enter full screen mode again, before switching.

Any similarity to Apple is purely coincidental.

Or thanks, we already have the best alternatives to macOS and Windows that money cannot buy: https://distrowatch.com/

"Your papers! You're Patterson!"

What's "cave into"?

I think there are two sides to this. Yes, online aggression has probably peaked in recent years with the rise of worldwide pro far-right misinformation campaigns, no argument there. They were specifically targeted at the people more vulnerable to buy into hate speech propaganda.

On the other hand, I have personally noticed more constructive discussions, even after I deleted most of my anti-social media accounts and substantialy decreased my usage of Internet forums in general. It seems there's some positive trend in the middle of all that.

Windows XP's UI philosophy was great: one could always find what they needed within a two-clicks distance. Everything just went downhill after that. If they ever fix Windows, it will probably look a lot like XP again.

You do realize that makes it even more disappointing, right? I mean, trying to understand what Brexit was after voting for it? My goodness.

That's not how it works. Ubuntu adds layers of hardware support and software tweaks on top of its Debian base. Same goes for Mint on top of Ubuntu.

Why?

Not directly, I'm just giving OP the answer they wanted:

The quick and dirty questions is: Which distro should I try next?

Give Linux Mint a spin, I seriously doubt there's a friendlier distribution for newcomers from Windows.

Ah ok, so Brexit was caused by Russians now.

That's a fallacy. Teenagers are the victims here. So I'm obviously blaming greedy corporations, lack of good parenting and proper regulation from authorities.

This comment won't fix it for you, but I can definitely relate to what you're saying. I've spent so much time optimizing my web games in a way that they run more-or-less consistently the same in any modern browser, it was probably as much work as it was put in the games themselves. I do maintain my own engine, so I was aware of the cost.

The thing is, now Firefox is officially one of the last browsers employing their own rendering engine. The other one is probably Safari. I'm not aware of any others that do that. All other major browsers are using Chromium under the hood, and we know how this industry ruthlessly optimizes things for popularity. I won't delve into how many software layers of responsibility are involved in playing a video game in a web browser. My point is, if something is "passable" for a couple popular browsers, very few people will bother with checking why the less popular ones might have some sub-par performance.
