Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    you can't do this with edge.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Terminal:

    cd/
cd %Program Files (x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\EDGEVERSIONNUMBER\Installer
setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level

    or

    Powershell:

    get-appxpackage *edge*
Remove-appxpackage

    I know you guys foam at the mouth every time you see how much market share Windows has, but at least use valid arguments as to why you think your specific branch of Linux is superior.

    I think the drama is the result of intent, not theoretical possibility for someone who knows a workaround. The difference is that Microsoft obviously doesn't WANT you to uninstall edge, and makes it artificially more difficult to do so than 3rd party browsers, despite your ownership of the computer.

    Does Linux want you to remove the bootloader? Cause that is what the post is claiming then.

    Windows is a lot more idiot proof, that is why it is so popular with non-techies. T'is a feature, not a bug.

    [–] voidMainVoid 0 points 1 year ago

    Yeah, because only an idiot would want to get rid of Edge. Obviously.

    i use windows myself, because vr gaming sux on linux. and i can't uninstall edge. tried everything and i always get permission denied.

    [–] Aux 1 points 1 year ago

    You'd get the same permission denied in Linux if you tried to remove the bootloader. You just don't have permissions, my man.

    Press the Windows key, type "Powershell", right click "Windows Powershell" and click "Run as administrator". Then use the commands listed above.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    i always run povershell and command line as admin. even if i don't need admin privileges.
