Friendly reminder that you can uninstall edge due to an EU ruling. Remove-MS-Edge
Alternatively, you can use Bulk Crap Uninstaller, which is a super useful tool for uninstalling nearly anything!
Nice! Thanks.
Does it uninstall windows?
Too much trouble. Just uninstall the entire OS.
yup, switching to linux is the way
Removing Edge may cause update failure loop.
beautiful
Definitely not monopolistic at all. Not worthy of an anti-trust investigation, NOPE!
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.
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
Works perfectly on Linux.Just run rustup.
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.
Saying do it without proton or wine in response is insane, it's like saying "Now do it without your gpu plugged in." They aren't native Linux, but who cares as long as they run well.
The few games with problematic anticheat are a deal issue though.
No, there no equivalent because windows doesn't need third party interpretors for AAA gaming software
Delete the win32 API and DirectX DLL files (which is basically all WINE is replicating) and see how well Windows plays your games then!
I'll delete what my system is having to replicate and you do too, let's see who can run games.
I simply don't care. Games run fine under proton, why should I?
It's not even extra work you have to do, steam handles pretty much all of it.
You don't have to care, but don't expect others not to just because you're OK with a substandard experience. If you're OK eating shit that's fine, but don't trytell me it's chocolate when I'm holding real chocolate.
Proton simply does not deliver a meaningfully substandard experience. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's worse. I'd bet the majority of steam deck users don't even know what it is.
Most games take a slight performance hit, so small you won't notice unless you're watching the numbers. Some games even have better performance on proton than native windows.
Why do you think it's substandard?
You out here comparing windows to real chocolate?
No, I'm comparing Linux to hershe's, they're trying to compare hershe's to real chocolate.
Just wanted to add that in my experience, Castlevania lord of shadows was unplayable due to graphical bugs on windows, but flawless through proton (that didn't need any setup btw)
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.
Love that they chose to cherrypick the one thing pretty much everyone has talked about being the issue left to fix. Looking at games people actually play, it's like 3% 
well there used to be a hack that had kept my win10 system edge-free for around 4 years, edge just reinstalled itself tho (yesterday)
Imagine what the poor bloke who had to delete this witnessed
I like to believe it’s Rick Santorum, with a growing paranoia that everything is becoming a synonym for scary lights on sex stuff.
They're not the only ones:
Definitely not lol, this one also went well
And here you are, spreading their ads even in a community that's super pretective of their adblocks. It works as indended.
I like to Edge by using a defective browser over and over before I open Firefox and climax.
who up edgin they browser
So that's what Edge is for!

Conceived in a hell beyond your depth of perception break of the edgecrusher
Damn, why delete a post with 938 likes!?
Probably because they had accidentally asked people to share amateur porn with them. NSFW Wikipedia article about edging
I feel like they did it on purpose for the attention. Otherwise what would a "memorable edge" be? A screenshot of a website? They knew what they were doing.
It's tough to tell with Microsoft, really. They're definitely cynical and duplicitous enough to do it on purpose and play it off as an unfortunate mistake, but they've also shown themselves to be stupid and out of touch enough that it could be an ACTUAL mistake 🤷
Otherwise what would a "memorable edge" be?
Ever since Google became a verb, tons of other corporations have been super needy about wanting to be verbed, nouned or (as in this case) verbed and then nouned. It's pathetic, really.
They actually paid money to get „bing it“ into tv shows:
So yes, they are absolutely that pathetic.
Just because it's amateur doesn't mean it's not good.
True, but it's probably even more of a legal and PR minefield for Microsoft to ask people for than pro porn would have been lol
Why on earth would they delete a post with nearly 1000 likes? Cant quite see why
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
