Huh, I do not have CMD + V for clipboard contents in Plasma with Klipper. What distro is configuring that?

I am assuming by CMD you mean Superkey. If not, I would like to know. I looked at Klipper shortcuts and didnt find it in there either.

What sucks about it for you?

Ok. So why aren't we all using peertube?

Searx/ng

Do you pick your instance and then add it, or does it let you differentiate between them?

Perhaps it is easier for them to have search engines offer their services through that avenue?

But it doesnt matter, if you go to any site that has search, all you have to do is click the + "add search engine" right in the address bar. Doesnt get much easier.

Even sites like Shodan work.

Right there where it says Find More Search Engines:.

Or the other way, go to on any site, click the search bar and the option to add it as a search appears at the bottom of the search bar: https://i.imgur.com/c3bFc7g.png

I went to the Quant website, and then it offered for me to add it as a search, hence the + symbol. Or click the settings button to "Find more search engines".

I will admit that having to browse through Firefox extensions is not as easy, but the ability to add an engine at any time, without even using settings, simply by visiting the web page is pretty simple.

Edit: I didnt find it hard at all, using the keyword search in the settings menu. But they also have a guide: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox#w_add-search-engines

No. The results are usually pretty good. And the layout of results is better and more concise.

I like it much better than Google. If I absolutely have to I can use ! and pick a different engine or even narrow down a site.

What? Settings: search for search. Change default. Click find more search engines. It offers hundreds of them.

This was not hard, nor obfuscated.

Yes, at least on android you can sandbox apps.

My shiny new printer will not work with windows. The drivers a pain in the ass. Even if it did, the drivers are bloatware.

With linux there is no garbage drivers and scanning. Copying and printing just work. With native dialogs no less.

Mostly. Even KDE has some helper apps and set up that is not always included. For instance: A default EndevourOS install will not have SMB set up. Other distros may or may not. A new user might expect Network discovery to be configured for them to at least see what else is on the network. KDE has a network tab available but without the distro configuring it, it wont do anything. That is just one example.
