From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am not judging anyone who uses Edge here, I can understnad the appeal of it. I just am sad that Linux doesn't have Microsoft like feature that there isn't a great alternative for Google + Bard, Microsoft GPT.
I want everything FOSS, but yeah, I will sleep now. I am too old for the new gen.
Bullshit. Even the flatpak is not sandboxed very much. If you sandbox it totally then maybe. But I dont know.
Ooh, thanks for pointing that out! I haven't used it, but now I will start installing it for every colleague's Linux user when I get the chance, just to mess with them. Might even change their bash's prompt to the DOS one.
(These edge installs of mine will probably account for half of all edge on Linux installs ever, btw)
I tested it out bc I thought I'd need it to get teams running for school, but it turns out we're only using teams' video calls so Vivaldi works too. Edge is fine I guess? I dislike that it's chromium and I dislike microsoft but it's good to know edge works fine, in case I need it for some reason at some point. I still uninstalled it when I realized I didn't need it.
Normally, I use firefox for normal personal browsing and vivaldi for school (since some sites we use work much better on chromum, and it's nice to have that separation anyways).
As long as Vivaldi is available on Linux I don't see a need for it, same engine but better features.
I use firefox and used email and most of my things on google, but after 2023, I had an abandoned outlook and start to use for Sync on Edge and etc
IDK, seems a decent browser, a lot need some corporate browser and microsoft going to cloud, at least it's better than going to windows entirely for a lot of people kekw
I don’t use it for browsing but only for two use cases :
In my opinion, the only proprietary browner (and remember that it is partially proprietary) worth even though it is proprietary is Vivaldi
Yes, started using Edge on Linux few months ago exclusively for free GPT-4
Usual MS garbage.
I used to because they gave out free coupons for various things (like Amazon). The issue I had with it is that the right-click menu for Edge on Linux overrides the OS and that of a browser. It was annoying enough to go back to Firefox.
