From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As a browser it’s fine, but Microsoft asking me to use it every 0.001 seconds really turns me off it.
I was all over Edge when it was in beta. Since release though it's just become bloated with Microsoft's shit. Not to mention in Windows Microsoft has a fucking hard-on for making it the default browser. Even if you don't, Outlook defaults to using it regardless.
It only asks you to use it on windows or MS platforms. I hope you can see the issue now. I don't use arch btw.
I wouldn’t know, since MS’s incessant badgering has made me 0% likely to ever install it on any of my linux machines.
