    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.

      Better versions? The best versions are firefox from distro’s repo and librewolf from flathub for me.

      That’s the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

      • It’s usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
      • You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red “uninstall” button, no console needed.
      • Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn’t give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
      • If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you’re a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
      • It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.
