Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

I have Linux on my desktop but still use Windows on my laptop for some classes required for my degree.

Additionally, my partner uses software for her work that isn't supported on Linux. And there's not really a Linux alternative that would work because she needs file compatibility with other people in her career field.

So no, it's not just for kids playing Roblox. It's also for people that have to interact with the proprietary OS space when Linux alternatives won't or can't.
