Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC

"Funny" news that bring me back to the last time I decided to switch to Linux.

I updated windows 10 and when my PC booted I got a full screen to setup edge. I wasn't able to find any way to quit the screen. So I completed the set up and went to install Linux.

It's crazy how they believe they own the PC of their customers... I mean, it's in the name... Personal...

Where I work, customers used to ask us for fuses. We didn't want to sell them as they cost nothing, and it bothered us to have stocks of this... So, the decision was made to put a crazy high price on it (like 100 times the price of a fuse )... Some customers still ask to buy fuses from us ...

Apple probably doesn't want to sell spare parts(to discourage people to repair their devices, or another reason), but they may be forced to do it, so they put crazy prices on it.

A dick move, but "hey, as long as it works ! "

The Snap Dish Doesn't Make Sense

Snaps make sens from the Ubuntu side.

Only one package to maintain for an application, even if they have different distributions to maintain. If snap is officially supported by the creator of the application, then it's less work for Canonical. Well, it would have make more sens if flatpak didn't exist.

From user side, it makes way less sens :

  • the closed source application shop
  • if snaps are not officially supported, then Canonical try to create one, and they may be not that great ...
  • ...

/e/OS Is Better Than Android. You Should Try It

I like /e/OS, but the app lounge bothers me a lot. There is no uninstall button and it is not possible to add Fdroid repos... So I have Fdroid installed in addition to it.

I do not see an added value as if I had the aurora store installed + Fdroid.

IMO, the best addition of e/OS compared to lineage is clearly the tracker /ad blocker app.
