Yes, those who really dislike Edge (for whatever unpecified reason)
always have the option of running Linux as their Operating System
rather than Windows.

I use Edge all the time but it only runs when I want it.
Start Edge, open Settings, turn off run at startup and in background.
When I control + alt + delete to find what's hanging I often see msedge.exe running and even though it may not be the offender, why is it running?
I never use it.

Todays Patch Tuesday was delightfully destructive.
It rebooted while I was taking a nap. It ruined what
I was working on. Thanks.

An option? Yes, however it's not an option that interests me.
I have a much simpler option that works fine for me: don't run Edge
and use Firefox instead.

I can't understand why anyone would use Windows for their personal use.
Why would anyone use an operating system they have no control
over, and have to fight with and complain about constantly?
With a Linux operating system you have complete control, and can install
it on any computer you choose, new or old.

I have Windows and Linux (sort of as a hobby). Then you have Apple's
model. I think I understand many of the choices people make... I
guess, as in many things, the less you *know* the more your *pay*.

Ubuntu - Software Updates starts 30 seconds after you boot.
- Snaps shoved at you
- Xorg, Wayland, XWayland, PulseAudio, Pipewire,
variable print quality, some printer driver support but not
all
To give another example, Alan over in the Ubuntu/Mint groups,
is in the process of "building an older version of SAMBA",
because an *Update* broke his file sharing. Well, no matter
where you live in the ecosystem, you hear that story
on a regular basis. And that's an example of someone, trying
to solve their Linux problem, but heading in the wrong direction.
But it does not change the fact, somebody broke it, and
did not bother to test that authentication works (PAM or
equivalent seems to be broken, because I can reproduce here).
I changed the SAMBA config and got mine working, but then,
I also lowered my security level.
And don't tell me that NFS comes with its own Sparkle Pony
and will somehow be better than SAMBA. We used to hammer that crap,
back in my Unix days. Same old, same old "it's not working
today" thing.
Every OS has time-wasters, they're just "different" time wasters.

You can completely remove Edge from Win 10:
How to remove Microsoft Edge from Windows 10 | TechRadar
<https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-remove-microsoft-edge-from-windows-10>
A very bad thing to do, In my opinion. It's just looking for trouble.
You may run into an occasional web page that doesn't work with your
choice of browser, and you need to run Edge to get to it.
Most important, some future Windows update is likely to cause problems
if Edge is missing,
It's much better to do as I do: just change your default browser to
Firefox, or whatever browser you prefer. Having Edge installed but not
being used is a much better choice.

So far I am very happy with removing Edge completely, using Firefox as >browser. Windows and Office Update continues to work (and I disabled >automatic update using Group Policy).
I also run Firefox, which I greatly prefer to Edge, Chrome, and the
many others I've tried. But every now and then I run into a web page I
need (usually with a financial institution) that doesn't work with
Firefox, and I'm glad that Edge is still installed.

Today I downloaded Edge and successfully installed it back into my Win
10. :)
Good. You may not need it often, but I think it's good to have there
just in case...

The more important observation is that you can actually remove Edge from
Win 10 (and possibly 11) without strange consequences.
And you can
always reinstall Edge like other browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox).
