As a Linux desktop user, web apps are very much welcome. Apps like Photopea and Adobe's new Photoshop web app are things that make the Linux desktop much more viable as a platform.
Some points on why I switched from Firefox to Chrome:
- It "failed" while trying to use Google Meet for work. I don't remember the details of the incident, but it was embarrassing enough that it made me switch, at least for work stuff
- No Chromecast support
- Buggier than Chrome in general: last I remember was an issue with page scaling when printing
- No desktop integration of PWAs (i.e. launcher icon, standalone window). This is what I missed the most as a Linux desktop user.
- Worse performance than Chrome, at least on Android. Firefox was freezing often and even causing my phone to... restart randomly. This is unacceptable.
Your comment sparked my curiosity about this bug, which I vaguely remember reading about a few years ago. Apparently, it wasn't a bug in the EXT4 filesystem, but rather in a kernel component called blk-mq.
Just less frequently. Also, we should agree on what those "issues" are, really. Beside the lack of popular commercial applications on Linux, the existing, open source variants, are often inferior if not frustrating.
I find it arrogant to force a human being to life, especially at this time. I question everyday the fact that somebody else decided for me that life is somewhat worth living.
Speaking of backdoors in popular open source libraries, the recent incident with xz is exemplary I think.
