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.

I was spinning up Chrome while trying to move around a Firefox window to my other monitor. Crazy though I haven't seen issues like this on any OS in at least a decade

There's your problem, shit eats resources like a mofo.

Also stop using Chrome, stop giving it market share, Google is trying to DRM the whole Internet into using Chrome. LibreWolf on desktop, Fennec on mobile, both support all your addons, too!

Librewolf is a bit extreme, regular firefox will do.

Sure, okay, regular FireFox on both, uBlock Origin is great, too!
