Spot on. Linux on desktop still regularly freezes completely, for minutes in a row, sometimes tens of minutes, while the CPU is on 100% doing nothing but seemingly pointless disk I/O. I do not know what amateurs programmed that shit, but they should hang themselves out of pure shame.
A desktop OS scheduler has one top priority that should never, NEVER, EVER be broken: allow instant responsiveness to user input, 100% of the time, forever.
If no normal scheduler can achieve that, then even reserving every second processor cycle for user interaction is better than relying on some defunct server-scheduler.
"making a trade-off from the default CFS to benefit Desktop configurations over the typical load a server might see"
That's only a decade or two late. Too bad that insane Linus keeps blocking proper desktop scheduling and with that keeps blocking Linux desktop advance.
No even then, in the case of an intranet, it isn't fine.
There will always be an upgrade cycle, always come a demand to switch to another browser. Precisely then the technical debt created by creating sites for only one browser, and thus with a higher degree of non-standardness, will hit you.
Customers that require only one engine are shooting themselves in the foot, and it is the responsibility of infra architects and developers alike to talk them out of it. The best companies I know demand of their partners that their websites work and are supported on a range of browsers. The worst companies I know are the ones that are continuously in trouble over web interoperability issues because they didn't.
Dear lord you must be very young and very inexperienced, not showing even a shred of understanding of how dangerous that thinking is.
I use it at work. It's easily better than Chrome, having stolen its engine and having a less confusing interface. Mind you, still way worse than FireFox.
Nobody loves iApple users. iAPple is a fad mostly present in the US, ignored in the rest of the world.
Why would you? It uses the same engine as Chrome, so it should be OK? That was the whole point for Microsoft when switching to Blink-based Edge; to re-establish web-monoculture... Or are there dependencies I'm missing?

That time of the year again, when whiners looking for a cause gang up over DST.
That leaves you with a random / low resolution version. Anyhow, while VLC is a nice swiss-army knife, there's tons of add-ons that the same, plus easy selection of quality.
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
