Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again / Microsoft has a history of tricks to get you to use Edge, and the latest one targets Chrome users once again (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.

Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.

Linux Mint isn't perfect, but at least it's not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don't want.

Games is still what keeps me on the absolute shit show that is Windows. Proton has come a long way in solving this problem but there are still enough issues especially with new games that I have to have a Windows partition.

I'm mentally preparing for the switch. Would you mind naming some of the games keeping you on Windows?

Besides games that actively block linux for their anti-cheat, there aren't many games that don't work ootb on linux.
You can always check for specific games on protondb.

Thanks! I didn't even think to look for a compatibility list. I'm quick to check them for emulators, but it didn't even cross my mind
