Yep, so on top of the regedits, I should have mentioned the need to run additional software just to get it to behave. Things like BC Uninstaller to remove the bloat and MSEdgeRedirect to force the baked-in URLs to use my default browser.
Linux is so much easier imo. For full disclosure, I’m “only” using Mint, but still – what an improvement!
I just love how during install you can already specify what you need and dont need on linux, and even after install I end up having more programs on windows, half of which is just programs like 7zip, vlc, notepad++, wacom software, I could go on, and this all built into kde plasma
I wish someone had told me all this years ago! I always heard people claim that you had to be super techie to understand how to use Linux, so I stayed away until last year when someone on lemmy finally convinced me to try it on an old gaming laptop of mine – a laptop that could barely run Windows anymore. It works just fine with Linux!
