Firefox gets raving feedback here, but for me it is unusably slow on a Linux machine.

While websites do render fast, the UI is not very responsive, whether its laggy typing into the address bar [1] or the crawling devtools.

I switched back to Firefox for dev work on my system (Arch Linux), because Chrome would slow to a crawl with its devtools open. Firefox (since quantum) seems to fare better.
I also use Arch and Firefox Beta daily at home. Don't see any issue.
