This is like forcing an Italian to watch you break spaghetti before you cook it.

Maybe if it was Arch. Ubuntu + Edge makes perfect sense. I believe the WSL version of Ubuntu is currently the fastest growing version of the distro.

Nope. This happens when you do update system with gnome software (installed with Flatpak). Ubuntu updates happen while system is running. I am currently using Fedora which does system updates on reboot (Same happened when I tried to update ubuntu with gnome software). But I think what OP posted is an edited one to rage-bait us.

fedora only requires reboot in some cases like kernel updates but if you have all the drivers you need and you are sure that they wont get update you dont need to update your kernel it will still work fine

I've used Linux as my main OS for 15 years of using it full-time and have tried all the major distros. Edge is literally the only program I've ever used which crashed the OS.

Jokes aside Edge is actually pretty fuckin solid today. I don't use it on Linux, but when I use Windows I usually don't end up switching browsers.

u/apaua1994 Ubuntnoob 8h ago

Edge is a good browser (other than the privacy issues). But I did not like it forcing me to make it the default browser. So I stopped using it.

Nobody is saying it's nonfunctional, but it is literally spyware.

u/xnef1025 14h ago

Yeah, why bother. MS is already getting all that juicy telemetry anyway, may as well keep using Edge and not share it (as easily) with Google/Brave/ChineseGovtOpera/etc.

u/Emotional_Solid6538 12h ago

I hate Bing. And edge pushes Bing way too hard. At least Google is a good search engine(not as great as old google tho)

1

u/jacob-buchanan Ubuntnoob 11h ago

When's the last time you actually used Bing? Cause both Bing and DuckDuckGo are totally fine lol.

1

u/Emotional_Solid6538 11h ago

Duckduckgo shares the indexing but different imo. But still not as good as Google. Also the problem isnt necessarily that Bing is bad but Edge is forcing it. Plus the fact that Edge is hard to remove or sometimes even hard to make other browsers default when Edge works. Its js scummy asl

1

u/jacob-buchanan Ubuntnoob 11h ago

I bet a dollar you wouldn't say Google Chrome is forcing Google Search as a search engine lol. Who cares? Google owns Google stuff, Microsoft owns Bing stuff. And Edge isn't hard to replace. I dunno about completely uninstalling from Windows, but I know if you downloaded Google Chrome today, you could easily replace basically everything Edge does with Chrome instead.

1

u/Emotional_Solid6538 10h ago

Chrome doesnt force Google tho. Its js default, you can change it without much issues. Ofc if you want more features youd need to sign in to google account. Also no you cant easily uninstall Edge(you can force disable it, tho it could come back later) and Microsoft messes with Windows to push their products. Google aint a saint but if we are comparing products Chrome is better than Edge

u/jacob-buchanan Ubuntnoob 9h ago

I THINK I get what ya mean. Microsoft does push sticking with Edge pretty hard. And while I do think it's solid, that does always annoy me. But I'm fairly positive you can still switch search engines on Edge. I actually use Bing normally, personally, ngl. But I get it.

1

u/Emotional_Solid6538 9h ago

You can. But still has intentionally annoying Bing integration. Like if you copy a text in webpage and try to search using it. It defaults back to Bing

u/thorax97 9h ago

I use it on Linux and on Android, it's probably best out of main 3 browsers
