Using Edge daily. I like it, it's comfy, it doesn't hog all resources like chrome.

I didn't realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.

No, it's available on home. I've been running it on home machines for a while now.

If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.

Installed Vivaldi and Zen Browser. Desactivated EDGE as the next task.

I use Edge on my laptop on a daily basis.

Sure sure, but we're talking about the Internet browser

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah the browser is good!!

I use it on my work laptop, I even have chrome installed. It works just fine.

Why? If you must use Chromium, why not Vivaldi or something?

This is not the beat OS out there. Linux distros give a lots of flexibility.
