This, if you must use windows get pro so you can just use winget
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.
Get Noted: WinGet is not only available for Windows Pro. WinGet the Windows Package Manager is available on Windows 11, modern versions of Windows 10, and Windows Server 2025 as a part of the App Installer. The App Installer is a System Component delivered and updated by the Microsoft store on Windows Desktop versions, and via Updates on Windows Server 2025.

If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.
“What is my purpose?”
“None. You don’t get executed ever because the very first thing I do upon getting a new computer is boot into UEFI and install Linux.”
I remember when this meme was IE
How are your knees?
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
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?
I like Edge.
Any particular reason?
I’m using Windows 11.
That isn’t a reason for liking something…
This is not the beat OS out there. Linux distros give a lots of flexibility.
Using Edge daily. I like it, it’s comfy, it doesn’t hog all resources like chrome.
Idk what optimizations Microsoft stacked on top of Chromium, but Edge is effectively Chrome. It’s based on the same code as Chrome. Unless Microsoft managed to fix Chrome in some way Google couldn’t.
I disagree. Edge is an acceptable browser if you just want a browser. This meme stems from the days of Internet Explorer and for IE it was valid. IE was a subpar browser at the time. It failed to do the bare minimum, like keep up with w3 standards.
Before I learned about containers in Firefox, Edge was my secondary browser (to log into second accounts)
Agree, Edge has always performed well for me personally, especially at work. At least it didn’t eat all the RAM like Chrome.
Prefer Firefox overall tbf.
Acceptable browser, for chromium, and nothing else
‘Join the club pal’
Linux Fans maldin
Why tho?
