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.

    Is there a performance hit for windows gaming in Linux? I’ve read it’s come a long way but is it virtualization that will bog down on my CPU or is it something else?

      I really should check my notifications more often.

      I can’t really say from experience, as the only game I’ve played on Linux that isn’t Linux native is Starcraft, and that’s not exactly a demanding game these days. Linux is on my main workstation, but I still have a Windows PC as my main gaming PC, so I haven’t had a reason to check out how well the virtualization & compatibility stuff works.

      My intuition says you’ve still got enough CPU oomph to muscle through any such virtualization overhead though.
