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.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.

(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)

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.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'd like to use Plasma, but the last time I tried it, it didn't run very well on my PC.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Do not fear the learning curve, for it is shallower now than a year ago.

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

Using Edge on Linux is like cooking up a banger vegan meal and then drenching it in bacon grease.
