When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that's what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:

sudo apt-get remove python

Followed by

sudo apt-get install python3

Only to be suddenly greeted with:

sudo: command not found

Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?

For VR Gaming, I installed https://ameliorated.io/ onto a fresh Windows 11. Seems to replace Edge with Firefox and more other programs with Open Source ones.

But what if you would do it manually? I guess on a Vanilla Windows its not even thaf easy or possible because Windows Updates tend to fix it. But i am just a Linux user who jist wants to play VR and not really use the Desktop

Snap, and just uninstalling a snap provided program is even easier. Or just getting the system to use your own non snap program as default.

Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?

Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now

Enjoy your spyware.

The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for "enhancement"?

[–] halcyon@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Even if it was perfect and everyone should use it. The issue is that you can not remove (uninstall) it, which you should be able to do, especially for a browser.

Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!

In terms of usability? Yeah, edge is good, especially if you are a fan of vertical tabs. After all, it's just yet another chromium-based browser. In terms of privacy? Oh god no, given Microsoft's track record it's probably the worst browser out there in that regard.

I used edge for a while, but went back to Firefox after about decade of not using it. Love having extensions on mobile, makes browsing a lot better!

[–] Kuinox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well you can still uninstall edge on windows, even if it break your system, you can do it. There are tons of guides you can find on internet. It's basically running the installer with an uninstall flag.
