The Linux part is a bit of an afterthought in that announcement but it’d be pretty cool if they’d just go all in. They admit they’re the main browser of most Linux distros after all, why not give a specific setup a shout-out? Most of the confusion in switching is in distro and interface, after all.

In fairness to Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird are platform agnostic. It’s not really for them to tell users what OS to use. It’d cause them more aggro than its worth from all the people who have differing opinions on what the best OS is or the best distro to use. It’s already a tightrope act keeping their users happy when they announce things like AI in the browser. I think they’re right to focus on their own areas of interest.

True. Maybe a guide that mentions the big names would suffice? I have a friend scared away with the choice paralysis.
