iPadOS Safari is just as capable as desktop Safari. Why do you think otherwise? Also, it’s not 2006 anymore, maybe stop calling people “fanboy” for preferring a different computer than you.

What motivated me to want a "real browser" was bookmark management. Managing & reorganizing bookmarks on mobile Chrome was frustrating. And I absolutely will label anyone a fanboy if they barge into a Linux conversation going "Rah rah Apple best Linux sucks" without actually contributing anything insightful, useful, or specific. Please don't just repeat the age old "Apple did it best" line, we already understand you think so. To people actually interested in the topic, all it seems like is you wanted to mention Apple for the sake of mentioning Apple, and that's why I called you a fanboy.

  I'm not the person you responded to. I don't think "Rah rah Apple best Linux sucks" is a good characterization of his comment though. "This looks interesting but Linux has historically been a worse touch experience than iPad" is a better paraphrase, and I think the sentiment belongs in this discussion (because any entrant to the tablet market is competing with the iPad, whether you like it or not).

    Once again, ChromeOS on a tablet is a perfectly fine experience. If you, or anyone, wants to argue about why a specific Linux-based desktop on a tablet isn't great, do that, don't just restate generalizations like "Apple is best and everything else is unusable and it's always been like that", that comes across as FUD based on opinions and fanboyism. I've used ChromeOS tablets for years. I haven't tried KDE/Gnome on a primarily touch based device, just ChromeOS, so I can't speak for those, but I see no inherent reason why they'd be worse. There is an iPad some 30 feet from me right now, so I think I am in a position to be able to compare to that.

> iPadOS Safari is just as capable as desktop Safari. Why do you think otherwise? That would be an incredibly negative statement on the state of desktop safari if this was true.
