From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Microsoft thinks it's uninstalling Edge.
That's all you really need to do to break windows. /s
Edge/Internet Explorer is/were a cornerstone of any Windows install. Uninstall that and you can get all kinds of weird issues on your system.
Like my auto-installed Copilot doesn't launch?
Oh no!
For some context, I've got a Windows install that I primarily keep around for VR gaming which I remove Edge from. That Copilot thing is the only "issue" I've noticed.
