Mann i will always be a newbie to the world of linux, but running cmd on it, its always scary. Like one purge command and it went on deleting so many packages i didn't knew even existed at the first place.

I feel like a blind man following the blogs hoping to god that no wrong shit happens. And the blogs are also like "do step1 then step2 then step3, you will see x , do y and it will work" , and surprisingly it works!.

Linux is a beautiful mystery.

And why the hell is almost every browser in linux broken?
- Netflix, hotstsr and Spotify won't run on any versions of opera or chromium because opera didn't got some widevine installed.
- chrome runs but no good free vpn(i prefer hola/1click) works
- firefox is weirdly slow.

And yet this is the world's most lovable platform for web dev

Dunno, I'm running all of the above on arch with no issue. You might want to look into building the packages manually if you're experiencing compat issues.

@M1sf3t @SortOfTested my system is Ubuntu 18.04 running non a dual boot with win 10.

I also just download these browser's deb from their official sites and install, but things don't work that nice. I guess they don't test on all OS's

- on opera forums their have been dead discussions (where people just post their problem/+1s and no one posts any working solutions) on the issue of Drm content support, dated to 2018 and version 58 (current is 68). Seems like they might have fixed it in later versions, but the newest deb file didn't worked for me.

- on chrome, since most of the things were working, i looked into the details of the addons. Hola vpn hasn't been updated for a year there. It gets installed fine, but doesn't connect any site. Thus my guess is it isn't much tested for chrome-linux combination (although it works fine in opera-linux and every windows-browser combination)

I am currently able to do my tasks, but now i need 3 different browsers for different functionalities

@M1sf3t in chrome drm content works after enabling but for chromium, and opera it didn't worked even after enabling protected content in settings. I haven't checked for Firefox tho

"good free VPN (hola or 1 click)"

Don't. Please. Don't tunnel your traffic to some shady ass mofos.

@kescherRant ^^this!

Also, once again - you do NOT need vpn for your browser. Spin up a free t2.micro ec2, ssh -D into it to set up socks5 proxy [prolly the simpkest approach available there] and set that proxy in your browser either with env variables, browser settings or via some proxy plugin.

That's not what vpn is meant for, ffs!

As for the rest - I feel you. I was in your shoes 9-10 years ago. But noe terminal is my best bud and I find it hard to last a day without it :) esp for work stuff
