My other favorite is when they add Edge to my desktop periodically

Oh, and the one time they put a fucking arrow on my wallpaper pointing at Edge. That’s what finally convinced me to make it my default browser

Or "let's finish setting up your PC" full screen on a 4 year old system. Then you click through just to find the only options are 1) share more data with Microsoft, or 2) make Edge your default browser. The day I find a decent note taking tablet running Linux, windows is dead to me.

Why not install it yourself??

[–] FearTheCron 2 points 1 year ago

I have tried installing Linux on my Surface, unfortunately I haven't found a configuration that works for me yet. There are just a lot of small features that didn't work like the touch screen keyboard, the ability to use my finger to scroll while using the stylus to write, and more. I can probably get it there with enough work, but for now I'm taking the lazy way out and running Windows. Still better than IOS though, yuck.
