If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

I use DDG on Edge, and haven't seen this.

I've got Mint on an old laptop. It seemed to require the least amount of fuckery to get working. No idea what Plasma is.

I just want an OS and browser, not a project.

I got rid of Edge entirely on my Windows machine. I wonder how Microsoft will act now.

I guess I should just become an immigrant since the land of Windows has been turning me down for quite a bit of time.

Ehh, time to play a bit of a devil's advocate.

"Bing with Edge",

  1. it's talking about search engine in edge
  2. a lot of malware will change your search engine, so that may make sense, for less knowledgeable people
  3. it won't do anything on its own, you need to accept the repair step, for your default browser and/or search engine in edge to change
