   If you ever feel like your life has no purpose, just remember that there's someone at Microsoft whose job is to make sure Microsoft Edge works on #Linux.

     @nixCraft they're not really doing anything since it's yet another electron app fundamentally. But they have to be sure their spyware isn't broken.

     @nixCraft You'd be surprised how many Steam deck users have Edge on their handheld.

     @nixCraft I'm just fine not having ANY Micro$oft junk on any Mac or Linux box I run. The one machine I have Windows 10 on is stripped down to its bare bones so I can play TF2 and other Steam games. I'd prefer that one Linux dev maintaining Linux Edge in Redmond had a more fulfilling job in open source.

     @nixCraft If you're on a Microsoft Account working on multiplatform, then it's great, especially if your company FORCES to use a Microsoft Account.

     Honestly there is one thing I may use Edge for:

     Until now, I have not found a smoother tool for just writing in a PDF and get PDF Markup and not just another layer as in Xournal++ (which is much nicer in handling).

     @nixCraft Haha literally the only reason why even a single person on earth uses edge is that microsoft forces it into their face if they use windows. I seriously wonder if the installs on linux are in the double digits yet xD

     @nixCraft I almost used MSSQL on Linux. Tested it on production data and it works. Still didn't trust it
