Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

Move to Ubuntu, you are not obligated to use Microsoft.

Not going to happen in any business environment

Ubuntu is a choice in business nowadays, alongside Windows and OS X. But it's a choice usually only offered to programmers or the IT department.

Yeah, I had a user who was in Sales. Issued a new PC to her after 8 years. She didn't even know how to organize her bookmark bar in Chrome. I don't think Linux would even be able to come out of my mouth in terms of "Things our users might be able to use"

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

But Chrome looks the same on Windows or Linux. And things like folders and file manager work the same as far as a user is concerned, and the "start menu" and "taskbar" can be configured to look like Windows. The UI concepts are so similar I'm willing to bet the average user wouldn't miss a bit if you switched it overnight.

The real blocker are Windows apps that can't work under WINE for some reason and don't have suitable cloud substitutes either.

Sad, but true.

Not with that attitude ;)

Not necessarily, I'm using Pop!OS but my workplace AzureAD SSO mandates Edge on Linux so you're not safe.
