    I was curious about the “starting to” in the title. Personally, Edge has always been annoying. Using another description in the article, one could argue that anything from Microsoft is “a hyperactive neurotic low-IQ product for the masses”. There’s no surprises here and exactly what I’d expect from that abusive corporation.

      It truly is. It’s a shame the knowledge gap for transitioning to other OS’s is as high as it is. The average person wants something that “just works”

        There’s some Windows desktop alternatives that are great out-of-the-box and just work. Some that come to mind are ChromeOS by Google, Linux Mint and Pop!_OS, which is OEM for System76 hardware.

        Installing Pop is easier than you might think.There’s documentation on both Pop or Mint’s site. I know their support and FAQ are really good.
