Okay cool, but post the random IOPs please.

MZLA is a different subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.

It was community maintained, then MZLA Corp was formed under the Mozilla Foundation. Deals to house Thunderbird under other foundations fell through, which is why it’s still under the Mozilla Foundation.

Project 1: Install Gentoo on it. 🙂 Project 2: Keep Gentoo installed on it.

Epiphany is making headway. It’s gotten much better in the last year or so.

I can still crash it with too many tabs, JS sometimes makes it crash, and the extension experience is bad, but it’s gotten better.

It is covered by WebKit call out though.

Mozilla is going to surveil their users and feed the data to their AI/Ads systems. They needed people to opt-in, so they created a EULA.

Random peripherals get tested against windows a lot more than Linux, and there are quirks which get worked around.

I would suggest an external SSD for any drive over 32GB. Flash drives are kind of junk in general, and the external SSDs have better controllers and thermals.

Out of curiosity, was the drive reformatted between runs, and was a Linux native FS tried on the flash drive?

The Linux native FS doesn’t help migrate the files between Windows and Linux, but it would be interesting to see exFAT or NTFS vs XFS/ext4/F2FS.
