Windows 10: Edge surprisingly good on Linux !!!

Hi there
Edge running on Fedora rel 34 ( remember fedora 34 is itself a beta release too) with kernel 5-11-14-300.fc34.x89_64 running quite well -- giving Firefox a run for its money !!! although I still prefer menus in FF and the better toolbars.

Anybody running Linux VM's -- try it -- it seems a much better performer on Linux than Windows !!

Build is ver 91 (DEV)





I've already tried on Arch Linux -- even easier installing it on that - just install from the AUR.

For Fedora just download the .rpm file from Microsoft and install. - Should work for SUSE/OPENSUSE and other .rpm types of package installation. For UBUNTU etc use the .deb files and appropriate package manager.

Cheers
jimbo

I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.

Bitdefender - Surprisingly good

Hey

Just wanted to add I've tested and bought Bitdefender for my new Win 10 system. (Build 18365.815)
It is surprisingly good!

I am an advanced user, who works with Windows and Mac support to end users.
I've tested most anti-evil code software. And so far Comodo been a favorite of mine because how much you can do with it.

However, Bitdefender, is pretty badword good at automaticly doing the right thing.
The VPN is brilliant! Only backside it they slow down your internet to 100Mbit. (I can live with that since the VPN is the most solid Ive found since Veritas File system on Unix)

Thats it, just wanted to add there is a good, simple, protection out there.
You need to buy it though. The free version is junk.
