Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

    It’s an unfortunate shortcoming. But you can dualboot or run a live Linux os off a usb chip for just when you want to run Linux for other things, or just buy a sub-$100 old used laptop that will do Linux things perfectly, just not gaming

      Dual booting is a good idea. I’ll have to give it another try. I’m not too keen on running from a USB as they are really slow compared to M.2 etc.
