Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too
theverge.com

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I admit that Mint is the distro I got the furthest with, several weeks in I just stopped being able to do full screen 3d. I spent a month and a half on forums trying to figure it out including 2 clean installs and couldn't get anywhere.

I even did board level diagnostics on my video card.

Just gave up and went back to windows, never had an issue there and still don't.

I'll use linux for remote servers or fun little house gadgets, but as much as I hate windows, (and I hate windows with the seething glowing magma aged bitterness of someone who has had to support it since WIndows 3.11.

I would LOVE to ditch it, especially now, but until I can get a clean install to doing what I need to do in under a day, I can't advocate linux.
