    Actually that method in the picture no longer works, but there is a better, though still convoluted, method.

    Of course, have fun adding repos and installing better versions of browsers in Linux.

    Edit: When I said “better versions”, I was primarily referring to Debian, which installs FF ESR. You have to add repos and install the better FF standard.

      That’s the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

      • It’s usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
      • You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red “uninstall” button, no console needed.
      • Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn’t give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
      • If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you’re a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
      • It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.

        Yeah my comment was misunderstood. I was primarily referring to Debian, which installs ESR. If you want the up to date version, you have to add repos and such.

          I would argue the entirety of debian is one big “ESR” so it’s not out of place. If you want latest releases of software then Debian is not the droid you are looking for.
