    When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:

    sudo apt-get remove python

    Followed by

    sudo apt-get install python3

    Only to be suddenly greeted with:

    sudo: command not found

      Even if it was perfect and everyone should use it. The issue is that you can not remove (uninstall) it, which you should be able to do, especially for a browser.

        In terms of usability? Yeah, edge is good, especially if you are a fan of vertical tabs. After all, it’s just yet another chromium-based browser. In terms of privacy? Oh god no, given Microsoft’s track record it’s probably the worst browser out there in that regard.

      To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

    Well you can still uninstall edge on windows, even if it break your system, you can do it. There are tons of guides you can find on internet. It’s basically running the installer with an uninstall flag.

    You can actually uninstall Edge, Microsoft just says it will break your system. Not a big deal, you can always reinstall Edge later via winget

      Last time I tried (haven’t used Windows in over a year) it just reinstalled itself unless you went to a fair amount of effort to stop it
