I'm referring to a default search engine. Something I can use by default everywhere and I can recommend to others. So it has to provide results based on typical use cases. First I'…

>I wonder what's different about our searches and expectations. The difference might be that they (including myself) don't ask search engines for facts like "doors of stone release…

Same here. Much like Firefox, I think it's important to use a search index that isn't tied to the larger players (Bing and Google in this case). I tried Brave a couple of months ag…

"Fits linux" is an odd statement. Most of the things you stated can be done by changing the theme of most desktop environments. For performance, I used LXQT recently to revive an o…

The title is misleading. Most large enough games do use databases in some form, just like a lot of software. If the title was a bit more accurate to its content, it would avoid a l…
