    It is wild that people will say that using apt to install things is too hard, but then suggest a registry edit to remove Bing from seach. Windows just isn’t as casual user friendly as it pretends to.

    This is the kind of dark pattern that trains Windows users trying to switch to Linux to do dumb things like blowing straight through a

    Actually that method in the picture no longer works, but there is a better, though still convoluted, method.

    Of course, have fun adding repos and installing better versions of browsers in Linux.

    Edit: When I said “better versions”, I was primarily referring to Debian, which installs FF ESR. You have to add repos and install the better FF standard.

      Ah I never tire of defenders of corporate shitfuckery.

      Whose computer is it? Mine or Microsoft’s? Did they pay me or did I pay them? Should I also not be concerned about the regular pop-ups begging me to use it?

      Did you ever stop and wonder why it is that MS so desperately wants you to use their browser?

      Fuck right the fuck off, please.
