Would you like to open this in edge? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿค”

I spent time over the holidays setting up edge on a relative's laptop.

One where I could't enable the play store.

Long story short, he has to run two bash scripts and can use it through a VM with debian 12 with KDE, because I tried to install wine on there last year.

jfc thats stupid

why did they want edge in linux? (if im understanding correctly)

[โ€“] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because he is the star of the hit IRL game "Boomers & Banks"

Someone told him to buy a Chromebook, and then he got a mail from his bank that he had to stop using Microsoft explorer and start using edge instead, so he wanted me to install edge on his Chromebook.

Can't log in to admin menu, had to launch Linux VM in Chromebook.

DNS kept resetting so i made a script to update DNS and one to launch KDE

[โ€“] Camille_Jamal@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago
