Friendly reminder that you can uninstall edge due to an EU ruling. Remove-MS-Edge

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 99 points 1 year ago

Too much trouble. Just uninstall the entire OS.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

yup, switching to linux is the way

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

Alternatively, you can use Bulk Crap Uninstaller, which is a super useful tool for uninstalling nearly anything!

Does it uninstall windows?

[-] cupcakezealot 77 points 1 year ago

Removing Edge may cause update failure loop.

beautiful

Definitely not monopolistic at all. Not worthy of an anti-trust investigation, NOPE!

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yup I'm literally encountering this RN in Windows on my dual-booted system. So annoying!

My favorite part is how it'll reinstall itself every so often when the OS updates. I used to be able to brick that in registry but its changed again to where that trick doesnt work anymore.

Correct, but thats not really a solution as i would still need to emulate a windows OS to play the games i want.

That said, linux has come a far way in that regard. Hopefully just another few years.

Windows becoming more of a service/subscription will hopefully speed that process up as people abandon ship.

Have you actually tried it lately? I've been gaming exclusively on Linux since a few years ago, at this point.

[-] JonsJava@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sadly, I have one game that will not work in Linux. I have thousands of hours in it, and I truly love it.

Rust

Also, apparently I'm a masochist

[-] alci@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

Works perfectly on Linux.Just run rustup.

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

You can play it, even though only on servers which disabled Easy Anti-Cheat.

[-] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That says more about the games you play than the capacity of Linux. Now do it without proton or wine, or pick any unsupported AAA game.

[-] Dimpships@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, have you?

I don't give a fuck about a negligible 117 games, compared to the thousands upon thousands that run in Linux just fine. Posting a pie chart that ignores the existence of those just so it can misleadingly pretend 37% of anything is "broken" on Linux is bordering on bad faith.

[-] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Gaming for me is mostly fine on Linux, it's running Ableton with standard plug-ins that doesn't work, surprisingly. Basically the only way I can run my own hardware for a music rig is through Windows. Also the odd thing like "run this firmware update utility" for various devices, then you'll have to go forum diving where people have tried all the workarounds to realize the workaround is just "use winblows."

I'm a mixed environment sysadmin for almost 15 years so Windows doesn't bother me as a product as much as others, I don't like Microsoft's business practices, but I can pretty much disable anything I don't like on Windows Enterprise. Like they are compliant with security regulations regarding critical infrastructure, as much as people justifiably rant about privacy concerns they try and force on to end users, but you can get around a lot of that with the same old commands. Our isolated environment isn't sending data to Microsoft or anything from our workstations for instance, and this traffic is heavily monitored and audited.

[-] optimal 2 points 1 year ago

I just got tired of their bullshit and moved to Linux.
