Using Edge daily. I like it, it's comfy, it doesn't hog all resources like chrome.

I didn't realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.

No, it's available on home. I've been running it on home machines for a while now.

If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.

"What is my purpose?"

"None. You don't get executed ever because the very first thing I do upon getting a new computer is boot into UEFI and install Linux."

Installed Vivaldi and Zen Browser. Desactivated EDGE as the next task.

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I use Edge on my laptop on a daily basis.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure sure, but we're talking about the Internet browser

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago

Yeah the browser is good!!

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I use it on my work laptop, I even have chrome installed. It works just fine.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why? If you must use Chromium, why not Vivaldi or something?

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I like Edge.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Any particular reason?

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm using Windows 11.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That isn't a reason for liking something...

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago

This is not the beat OS out there. Linux distros give a lots of flexibility.
