I don't think people would've complained so much about Edge if it wasn't the monster full of adware that it is today.

I used Edge for a few years when it came out and it was good, but each version they shoved something new in your face and I had to go back to Chrome.

Edge was great just after they switched to Chromium and lead the way on battery optimizations. And then every team started an everlasting "who can exhaust the patience of their users the fastest and get them to either give in to microsoft-everything or switch away from edge" contest.

Edge used to be a legitimately valid choice

Linux kernel working against their users? Why?

I don't think you get what this change is. You can disable nonfree drivers on the kernel level, and it will make sure they aren't loaded. You can also allow them, as many distros do. Nvidia took their driver and had it lie to the Linux kernel and pretend it was a free driver when it isn't. Linux is making sure they can't do that again, because if you don't want nonfree drivers, you don't want nonfree drivers. Nvidia is working against their users, not Linux.

Unfortunately this is a troll who only meant to stir the pot. They were recently known as veave and veavo. They are constantly churning through accounts and have been for a long time.

Doesn't seem similar to this. You receive spam unwillingly, but you have to enter that forum and participate on purpose.

Not if they're organizing attacks on you.
