Firefox is not eliminating MV2 extensions. You can stick with Firefox.

WebKit is really only available on Apple devices in any meaningful way.

Trying to be the change I want to see in the world.

Whoops, I just assumed that since I used the web version on Windows, that was the only version available for windows. I had never even checked. Thanks!

That’s web, though. OP says they don’t want web.

I take it back.

Pretty sure it’s black on transparent. Not the most visible, especially if your client makes the background black.

Indeed. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”—or, in this case, an unaudited automated process. Now, I’m sure the fact that it competes with one of their products meant that they were in no particular hurry to address the issue, but I’m sure the original failure was process related, not anti-competitive practices.

I’m not moving any goalposts at all. I’m expressing how inexperience and bad assumptions can make one’s searching unfruitful through no fault of their own. That’s all I’ve ever been saying.

Ah, you made an edit. Yeah, “kde login rotation” does, but “EndeavourOS login rotation” gives you no results mentioning SDDM. Giving people the benefit of the doubt costs you nothing over assuming that they’re lazy, and the added bonus is that you don’t sound like a jerk.

That’s totally the biggest problem with the internet. And definitely deploying self-important moderaptors is the way to fix it.

/s, of course. Get off your high horse.

Yes. I would assume that the problem is in X11 or Wayland before thinking it could be SDDM, frankly. But even then, googling “Linux login screen” doesn’t immediately reveal SDDM to be the point of concern.

Well, there was zero effort documented in the post.

You’re not their teacher. It’s not your job to decide how much effort they’ve put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.

Take a look at Ubuntu trying to teach newcomers how to ask a question.

And if they documented their research process, you’d say “tldr just ask the question.” Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don’t.

I don’t know about other people, but it’s way easier to google something than to ask a question and then wait for the answer. I’m not OP, but if I’ve asked a question, it’s only because I’ve exhausted my ability to find the answer on its own.

How do you think the OP is supposed to know that “SDDM” is the issue to look up? You don’t get to enforce another person’s effort. If all you want to provide is "you’re looking for ‘SDDM,’ that would provide help and empower them without sounding like you’re biting the newbie for not knowing everything.

This sort of passive-aggressive “help” feels like a relic of the early 2010s we could do without.

Bing, not Edge.

I was setting up fail2ban on an sftp server at work.

Guess who got admin permanently banned from that machine.

I’ve regularly found a solution to my problem on SO, only to discover that I need to figure out how to break my system exactly the same way the asker did before the fix will work.

If you do not want the Settings app to nag you with Microsoft Account prompts, go to Privacy > General and toggle off the “Show me suggested content in the Settings app” option.

My Settings panel should not have suggested content

That’s like offering book recommendations at the BMV

I am here to do a single task and nothing more. I will not be enjoying my time here.

What’s next? “Please rate the settings app on the Microsoft store”?

Yeah, it definitely has the Star Trek movie curse.

Each only in comparison to its predecessor, though. I still think Windows 7 was the last version to get out of its users’ way and just let them use their computer; everything since then has been worse than 7 in some subtle way.
