::: FIREFOX (Nightly) versions get handy & simple .deb packages :firefox:

"Nightly" is an unstable branch to test up 'n' coming stuff in advance.

Easy installing / updating (and testing!) these Nightlies on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.

Previously Mozilla shipped just .tar.bz2's to be extracted / run from there on -- not most optimal for everyone.

Please support free Firefox - Google's power over internet is getting problematic.

::: Ubuntu Linux 23.10 desktop re-released :ubuntu:

Malicious user translations have swiftly been removed.

This occurrence will quite surely make Ubuntu even stronger in future - there's much trust in community effort - but nonsense and negativity cannot take place in a Linux OS.

Canonical reacted professionally. Ubuntu is the most popular desktop Linux to this date still. This position is seldom abused.

Linux, 8 months ago to microsoft

You knew? Microsoft don't make money off their Spyd.. Windows no more :windows:

MS have an in house Linux called CBL Mariner.

MS profits through their cloud services (which ALSO run Linux).

People increasingly: "I'm forced to use Windows".

Not a thought outta blue that MS may ditch their "old thing" - for a Linux distro..

They even tutor people now to install Linux!

Time to get familiar with The Penguin, people :linux:
