That browser is my main driver, but it's out of the box settings makes it a bad choice for regular users in my opinion. Although knowing the usual crowd on Lemmy a lot of power users lurk around here.
only tangentially related but, what’s the cutoff for power users y’reckon? like i still feel like i don’t know what i’m doing, but i also recently did a bunch of troubleshooting on a new distro install without outside help.
is there a difference between power users and stubborn people who are just willing to trial-and-error their problems away until they understand it? lmao
In my mind power users are, roughly, people who want to use technology the way they want to and are willing to deal with the headaches that come with it. For example your description of you would put you into the group of power users.
Power users tend to know what they're doing but we all have to start from knowing nothing. Hell I'm still learning new things and I've been doing this shit basically my whole life.
