Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    you can't do this with edge.

    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Terminal:

    cd/
cd %Program Files (x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\EDGEVERSIONNUMBER\Installer
setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level

    or

    Powershell:

    get-appxpackage *edge*
Remove-appxpackage

    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.

    [–] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

    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.

    [–] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    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.

    [–] Notsosuperfloh@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

    i always run povershell and command line as admin. even if i don't need admin privileges.
