www.theverge.com How to change your default browser in Windows 11

Get your favorite browser back in Windows 11.

Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

Linux all the way.
Windows is only on kid’s computers. Because they need roblox and generally games run better on windows.
- I'm as pro Linux as they come, using windows for me makes me want to bash my head against the wall because I feel like I'm constantly battling my PC, it's awful to use IMO. But this is just silly.
  Windows is only on kids computers? Windows is on the majority of computers. ~70% of them.
  Linux is on 7-8% of them, half of which is ChromeOS, which funny enough probably has a higher proportion of child users than Windows, given its popularity in schools and as a cheap device for kids.
  The overall amount of kids on Windows and Linux probably isn't very different.
  And if you think kids are the only people who do PC gaming then you're wrong there too lol
  
  I think you misunderstood. Windows is only on the kid's computers in their household.
  
  That’s right. I should have been clearer.
  It is not easy when your kids want to play Roblox with friends and Roblox only runs Windows.
  Yes, I could have tried proton, but I don’t want to deal with issues. I tried running windows only games on linux. The user experience is far from ideal. More frequent crashes, other issues.
  These days kid’s download free games they want. I could not have that on Linux.
- Most stuff on Steam runs very well these days. Anti-Cheat and DRM are the main reasons stuff doesn't run.
- I do all my gaming on Linux at this point. If you don't play games with invasive anti cheat and even then some of those work now
  
  You can run a Windows VM with KVM and pass through your GPU for Gaming or other GPU-intensive tasks. It works surprisingly well.
  
  To be honest it's quite PITA to make it work this way. I chose to not play games that don't work on Linux at all.
  
  It took me like 3 hours, and if I had realized that I need to enable IOMMU in the BIOS it would have been 15 minutes.
  
  Can you drop a link? It is best if it is Arch linux link. Thanks.

- Based Linux runs almost the entire web while cringe Windows is used to play fancy video games
- Which software is it?
- wInDoWs bAd hUrRdUrR
  
  It is, and it won't get better. Windows is very much in the process of enshittification.
  
  Especially since it's only used by kids playing roblox.
  
  I'm a Windows user (not out of choice), there's no case for recommending Windows if it weren't for the softwares requirement.
