IDK, but Microsoft seems to be now what Google was a many many years ago: a company creating tech I like to use such as Bing, Edge, Windows Terminal, VSCode, etc. Their Surface hardware is nice too (even if I prefer thinkpads)

Oh and they're also helping with the linux kernel. Why can't old people let go? Companies aren't people - they respond to market incentices.

Yes, Microsoft did bad stuff in the 1990s, but now they're doing good stuff I like and TBH I'm way more afraid of google.

Not to detract from your overall point, but has Microsoft really done anything innovative when it comes to Edge, aside from painting over the Chromium skin?

The only noticeable difference that I've observed is its integration with Bing.

They made it vastly better in terms of resource utilization, specifically RAM usage. Anytime I restart Chrome to update the browser it's astonishing how much RAM is freed up after all my tabs open up again. Edge seems to have plugged a lot of memory leaks in comparison.

[KeplerBoy]

you like to use stuff like the windows terminal and edge?

both are passable, but nothing to write home about, are they?

Much to write about actually: thanks to Edge great touchscreen support (and mostly thanks to hyprland and wayland for the environment) 2023 is my year of linux on the "desktop" (laptop!)
