I've been considering making the switch to a Linux distro full-time, this move by Microsoft might be deciding factor. It sounds like they restricted Firefox installations to force users to use Edge.....


> I've been considering making the switch to a Linux distro full-time

I forget what my last straw was, but I went full Linux for all of my home computers around 2012 or so. At the time it bricked a piece of novelty hardware for me which I later ended up selling anyway, and that was not a hard choice to make.

My life has been so much better.

I segregate my usage of Windows and Mac OSs to work. I enjoy my OS sanity when at home.


What's keeping you on Windows? Linux is as capable as ever these days.


Honestly, not much at this point.... Just don't have the time to commit to a smooth transition.
