Recently I decided to make the decision to change my browser to Firefox after my 16 year-old-son said it was “based”. When navigating to the download page from Microsoft Edge, it claimed that Edge was better than Firefox because it had 60% of the features and none of the privacy. Despite the tempting claims, I proceeded anyway and set Firefox as my default browser. After a couple of days, I went to turn on my computer, and it said it was “installing updates”; when it booted on, Firefox was gone from my computer, and Edge was set as the default browser! I brushed this off as a bug, but the same thing happened four days later! What did I do wrong?

    uhhhhh

    arch, Gentoo, linux from scratch, etc are all expert distros. I don’t recommend them at all.

    whatever anyone says, don’t install manjaro.

    Linux Mint, KDE Neon, Ubuntu and Pop! OS are all decent distros for a beginner. Just choose whichever you like the look of most.

      Woah, a wholesome comment on the internet?

      Seriously though, thanks for being a sensible recommendation. I’ve semi-daily drived Debian for over a year now and have dabbled in Fedora and Arch, so I’m not a complete noob, but there’s definetly still a lot to learn. All wonderful recommendations though, keep spreading the word about Linux!
