From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad
the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?
They don't force you to buy anything. Almost all distros have a donation button on their site/git.
Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.
Ubuntu asks for money for their "pro" version.
It's a big reason why I switched to Debian.
Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?
Brave hates gays
"we replaced the browser with ad ware, that we even admit we had to ship settings to minimise its malware effect"
Y not gnome web
talk about bad taste
Recent firefox policy change is controversial, but how brave is better?
"We don't like the proposed new Coke recipe, so we're switching to drinking raw undiluted sewage instead".
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
Yeah. Viral marketing is real but people never seem to be able to identify it.
They should've picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would've expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.
Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn't for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks
“Mozilla has a bit been shady lately, so we are making the difficult decision to change our default browser to something significantly more shady. We are confident our users will feel safer knowing their data is in even worse hands than before"
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg
Boo
Firefox is bad, Brave is evil. Why did they decide switching is a good idea?
