Me: network monitor, calendar, Poal, Drudge Report, Q and Voat.

I remember before when would have reddit in my startup tabs + voat. Reddit was for "What are those fools upvoting to the top today? Now never go to reddit and voat is the "let's see what madness is at the top of voat".

Bonus - duckduckgo

at this point i have too reboot every day or 2 or my machine runs like shit. Granted it is 7 years old but its still and i5 with 16gb of ram and 1tb ssd and gtx980. Its ram really it ends up eaten by opera.

FWIW - I use 4 browsers.

Opera is only for Facebook. Nothing else.

Firefox is main browser with umatrix and ublock origin. Mostly for random sites I've never been and research / learning. Also for poat and everyday site where I can explicitly specify permissions (scripts, redirects etc).

Chromium is 2nd research browser for sites I find on firefox that need a lot of permissions.

Chrome - is browser for anything that doesn't run on Firefox / Chromium, like some of my online banking.

The system works great for me. I reboot maybe 1-2 times a month. Running Linux Mint and put in suspend mode when not using. SSD / 16GB RAM, discrete GPU. Reboots are mostly for kernel updates and such or the occasional desktop glitch with cinnamon (run dual monitors).

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but my problem is probably windows.

I am long time windows user since windows for workgroups days until Win10. Tried many times to do full migration to Linux but something would always not work quite right. But then Win10 pissed me off so much I spent a week trying different distros until I found one where everything worked (Linux Mint Cinnamon).

The Win10 thing was the forced updates where even if I turned off Windows updates or edited hosts files etc etc, it would still find a way to force updates on me. Bye bye forever Windows.
