you can't do this with edge.
Terminal:
or
Powershell:
I know you guys foam at the mouth every time you see how much market share Windows has, but at least use valid arguments as to why you think your specific branch of Linux is superior.
I think the drama is the result of intent, not theoretical possibility for someone who knows a workaround. The difference is that Microsoft obviously doesn't WANT you to uninstall edge, and makes it artificially more difficult to do so than 3rd party browsers, despite your ownership of the computer.
Does Linux want you to remove the bootloader? Cause that is what the post is claiming then.
Windows is a lot more idiot proof, that is why it is so popular with non-techies. T'is a feature, not a bug.
Yeah, because only an idiot would want to get rid of Edge. Obviously.
i use windows myself, because vr gaming sux on linux. and i can't uninstall edge. tried everything and i always get permission denied.
You'd get the same permission denied in Linux if you tried to remove the bootloader. You just don't have permissions, my man.
Press the Windows key, type "Powershell", right click "Windows Powershell" and click "Run as administrator". Then use the commands listed above.
i always run povershell and command line as admin. even if i don't need admin privileges.
