In fairness to Windows, stopping users from doing really dumb shit is a feature if you're family tech support.

Linux will also stop regular users from breaking the system.

If you're family tech support, making them superusers is probably a mistake.

So Linux and Windows are the same in that regard.

Because you can also still uninstall Edge if you wanted, just not through the conventional means.

I mean, with admin powers you can still easily corrupt your windows system. Not too much different from sudo rm -ing everything.

What about stopping windows from doing stupid things by itself?
