Edge on Linux
No one asked Microsoft to port its Edge browser to Linux. Indeed, very few people asked for Edge on Windows. But, here it is. So, how good -- or not -- is it? First, you should know that the experts always knew Edge would run on Linux. Today's Microsoft Edge isn't the one that first shipped. This model, which went into beta on Windows last year, is built on the open-source Chromium codebase. Besides being the foundation for Google Chrome, Chromium is the bedrock that almost all web browsers, with the exception of Firefox, are built on these days. So, bringing Edge over to Linux isn't anything as difficult as, say, bringing on-premise Microsoft Office to Linux. Now, the first beta of Edge on Linux is here. The new release comes ready to run on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE Linux distributions. It should run on any Linux using DEB or RPM packaging. Microsoft is planning to release weekly builds, just as it does with the Dev Channel builds for other platforms. To get started, users can download and install a .deb or .rpm package directly from the Edge Insider site. This also configures a system to get future automatic updates. If you don't trust Microsoft that much, you can also install Edge via Microsoft's Linux Software Repository for Microsoft Products. More detailed instructions are available on Microsoft's Edge-on-Linux blog post. Data from ZDnet
Noticed a category
I see there is a category, Security & Privacy. And it says, "Get tips..." I have a tip or 2 for this: It's high complex... (J/K 😂) 1. Use Windows 10. LOL That's it. Well, except don't add any 3rd Party stuff to it, the OBE is fine. And that takes care of the 1st part... except for whatever the End User does OR doesn't do. 2. Use Edge 2.a In Edge, block 3rd Party cookies & set Tracking prevention to Strict. Ad blocking & Pop-up blocking are on by default 3. Don't visit porn sites. 4. Don't click on anything unfamiliar in Emails or anything in Emails from unfamiliar or unknown sources. 5. Spend no time on a phone with incoming callers saying they are from MS. 6. Store critical data in the cloud; OneDrive or something similar. 7. 10 fights ransomware. As for privacy... don't give out personal info, create & use bold/strong P/Ws, change them often and use Family Controls. The idea that one's privacy is at risk with Win10 is 100% false & a myth. And YT vids & other sources saying turn stuff off in Win10 or say "No" to stuff is completely wrong & based on a severe lack of accurate understanding... Attention is paid to computer use to improve Windows 10 for everyone, globally... NO personal data is of interest OR collected. There are so many protections & safeguards between Edge & Win10, just be glad, relax & enjoy Cheers, Drew

is reviOS really partnered with you guys?
Hello Recently ive watch quite a few videos from an brazilian MVP called "Baboo", but for this conversation, only 2 are needed, one talking about Windows actvations and how they ruin your system, and what really is Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC, both in portuguese In both of these vids, he talks not to use modified Windows'es, epsecially those that comes ilegally activated, reviOS is meant to be an "SuperLite" Windows version that doesnt come with Metro and Windows 10 "bloatware" (which isnt true imo, Windows 10 2009 is very smooth when u legally activate it, Baboo's vid proves that those activators makes over 40k changes to Windows/Registry and one of them even install crypto mining software) my friends use, it's unofficial, but they claim that "They are partenered with Microsoft, and that it does not come activated, you use the same Product Key as normal Windows 10" The "company" behind this is called Revision, i am kind of skeptical about this "Partnership" thing I just want to know if Revision is really partnered with you guys
Regarding Conversation Categories: Accessibility
Accessibility is, where? .. When creating a conversation, the community member is asked to select a category for the conversation. Specifically: "Choose a category below *Entertainment- Use Windows for fun activities and playing games on your devices *Productivity- Learn how to use Windows to be more productive *Creativity- Explore creative tools and applications *Security & Privacy- Get tips for keeping data safe and private on your device *Windows Updates- Discover what's changing and why *Behind the Scenes- Meet Windows creators and see the stories behind the features *Other" .. Accessibility is the critical issue for all different persons with disabilities and challenges. Some questions and issues may be directly related to a single Entertainment product or particular to an aspect of Productivity with Windows. However, there are broader aspects of Accessibility that are important and critical to those impacted. And somehow, "Other", just doesn't seem to belay a recognition of import. .. Recommend making a category of "Accessibility"; to recognize the importance of having the conversation, and the broader overarching impact to those in the community with differences and disabilities. .. What say the rest of the community?

Customising Quick Access
Press WINDOWS LOGO + E or click the File Explorer icon on the taskbar and do the following: - If you frequently work in a folder that contains documents or pictures, right-click the folder and then click "Pin to Quick access." Or drag and drop a folder under "Quick access" in the navigation pane. - If you want to remove an item from Quick Access that you don't want to see again, right-click a file and click "Remove from Quick access." It'll no longer show up, even if you use it every day. (You can also unpin folders from Quick Access.) - To see only pinned folders, click "Options" on the "View" tab. Under "Privacy," uncheck both "Show recently used files in Quick access" and "Show frequently used folders in Quick access" and click OK. (If you turn them back on, items that you previously removed from Quick Access might show up again.)
