    I recently tried to install librewolf onto a W11 machine from the windows store. It won’t even launch that. Not even an error or nothing just gone.

      don’t use the windows store, when not required you can never know what else they package into your apps. google and amazon’s android app stores do this, the latter is even open about adding tracking libs to apps

        Well that’s the thing, it’s a pc I’m required to use and it got everything else behind administrators password if you catch my drift. (If I had my way it would be Linux)

        For now I’ll have to make due with a ff that I tweak by hand where I can.

          Don’t be too mean, but make sure your admin feels the heat.

          Linux is good enough for the desktop for a fuckton of businesses. gentle pressure may get us there in a generatiohn or two
