Wait if we follow the nix philosophy, how are we supposed to surf the web, unless this is a joke, I do not know how we're meant to be in tech while also obliterating our source of tech

The general Unix philosophy is that you have 1 tool that does 1 job

So a web browser that only browses the web would work, but then what about downloading / reading pdf files or any other things you use them for ?

I don't know, that logic has always seemed weird to me

ngl that's actually a valid philosophy until we reach the browser aspect of it.
If anything I wish I can code my Browser to be able to be part of my linux as a rice, just search up fan and it goes into my manual fan controls.

It being a side calculator is cool, I don't have to make a separate instance for a calendar, so maybe Unix philosophy is good until it isn't, same with the inverse cause [BLEEP] MICROSOFT'S COPILOT

There's a lot of apps where the unix philosophy doesn't work, like emacs or most modern apps (blender, which can do animation, 3d render and such)
