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 pythonFollowed by
sudo apt-get install python3Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not foundIn my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.

I actually switched to Fedora from Endavour for the opposite reason. I hated shooting myself in the foot, somehow I always did that on whatever Arch thing I had.
Is it easier to remove Snap from Ubuntu or Edge from Windows 11?
Can Edge be removed?
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.
Tough one
Edge is so trashy. It’s constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.
The way they promote it intrusively in every corner of windows they can manage is trashy too.
And that, kids, is how Linus fucked his Pop!_OS installation.
To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.
Tbh that’s Windows’ fault in crying wolf so many times for nothing
Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?
“Yes, I know what I am doing”
*system fails to boot
*surprised Linus face
This is how I feel about Java vs Go/C#/etc
Which is java and which is C# lmao
Java is the top, C# is the bottom. The Java language designers consider unsigned integers harmful (and this). They’re basically saying “You could hurt yourself with this so we’re taking it away.” I find that patronizing and disrespectful. On the other hand C# and Go tell you, “Yo bro, doing pointer math and direct memory manipulation is not safe, but I’m not gonna stop you.”
I love that about C#. It’s safe and managed, but if you need the unsafe features for performance etc, then they’re available. It’s the best if both worlds, imo.
For those wondering which xkcd:
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.
Does it actually break the system tho?
Some functionalites are broken, for example some settings in the settings panel wont display, because it’s a react ui (mostly everything related to onedrive/online account), lots of software expect it to be present and use it (like visual studio). Git (to connect with oauth).
But a lot of things still works.
Steps to remove GRUB on Debian: “doas apt purge grub-efi* -y” “doas rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/debian”
Look at this guy with his fancy efi bootloader…
Thanks running it rn. GRUB was hogging precious disk
Can I have you number?
“Ew, no”
Sudo can I have your number?
“Sure, here you go!”
Can you refer to windows as edge/windows?
Well last week I nuked my X11 KDE installation by removing random python packages.
Oh same lol fuck Linux
Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for “enhancement”?
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
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!
Enjoy your spyware.
No, its not your main browser. [tries to gaslight]
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.
You fr?
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.
