Friendly reminder that you can uninstall edge due to an EU ruling. Remove-MS-Edge
Too much trouble. Just uninstall the entire OS.
yup, switching to linux is the way
Alternatively, you can use Bulk Crap Uninstaller, which is a super useful tool for uninstalling nearly anything!
Nice! Thanks.
Does it uninstall windows?
Removing Edge may cause update failure loop.
beautiful
Definitely not monopolistic at all. Not worthy of an anti-trust investigation, NOPE!
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.
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.
You can play it, even though only on servers which disabled Easy Anti-Cheat.
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
It’s the equivalent of saying “now run directx under linux” It’s literally insane.
Yeah, have you?
areweanticheatyet.comI 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%
Yeah look up disabling edge through group policy, it’s quite easy and will be reapplied on every boot and login. Try finding the powershell command for everything too because you can save as a script and rerun it anytime as needed. There’s a “Reclaim windows” script on github that does a lot of this and you just have to comment/uncomment what you want done.
well there used to be a hack that has kept my win10 system edge-free for around 4 years, edge just reinstalled itself tho
I just got tired of their bullshit and moved to Linux.
Imagine what the poor bloke who had to delete this witnessed
I like to Edge by using a defective browser over and over before I open Firefox and climax.
who up edgin they browser
Edgelord mothermother
Conceived in a hell beyond your depth of perception break of the edgecrusher
So that’s what Edge is for!
Why on earth would they delete a post with nearly 1000 likes? Cant quite see why
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.
Haha that’s so sad. I only use Bing because I get a free month of gamepass every now and then through their points.
(Send me cheque now please MicroSoft)
stupid and out of touch enough
You have a point overall, but remember that whoever posts this is a person with writing and technology skills, it’s not done by a MS-approved committee. The person who wrote it might have free rein over the account, or they might be showing their tweets to an editor first, but one way or another some actual human had to put these sentences together and think about what they meant. So did MS hire and retain someone who has never heard of edging? Possible, but I find it hard to believe.
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

The article that you’re looking for doesn’t exist.
I got to the article. You might have a censorship problem.
