Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I’d prefer to stick with windows for gaming capabilities. Thanks though.

Oh no it'd just a silly joke. I was not being serious. You can game on Linux though

Yeah. I just don’t wanna finagle around in cli. I do that a lot at work lol

fuck gentoo, spending an entire week compiling shit is not something i want to do
I'd rather stick with arch or fedora

Chill dude. It's just a meme. I use Debian btw

As a gentoo user, I'm always confused when people think gentoo is about multi-day compiles. Rebuilding the whole system takes a few hours (not that I ever need to do that), and binary packages are available for the big stuff if you want it. It's basically just arch with more configuration options.

Not insisting you or anyone should run it, but it's not as ridiculous as people seem to think.
