Which OS do you prefer to use Neovim in?
i have archwsl but honestly there are minimal problems on windows for me so I really don't bother using wsl over just dual booting

Arch in WSL
Don't use it anymore but used it for a number of years after WSL came out. It involved some combination of https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL and Xming X. Worked great.
- Gnome 11 is real

My company forces me to use Cringedows, what can I do to suffer less?
• If you live in the linux terminal, I recommend installing WSL with a distro you like (I use arch here btw).
- A friend recommended WSL to me (based on my true experience)
-
WSL - Microsoft Linux
It uses a customized version of the Linux kernel (repo) that integrates with the host Windows OS. You can build any distro on top of that kernel, as people have done with (of course) Arch. The distro isn't any less "real" than a distro that it run on QEMU (and with a level 1 hypervisor, all systems that uses one are technically virtualized already).

Where do these buttons come from? I get them when hovering over certain links.
I used to use Bing to DuckDuckGo in conjunction with EdgeDeflector to ensure all links that open Edge and Bing redirect to Firefox and DDG instead, but EdgeDeflector no longer works now, so I guess I don't need that extension anymore. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't realized till now that the extension wasn't necessary anymore.

The dark defaults of Microsoft Edge
There's also the dark bit where changing your default browser in Windows doesn't apply globally.
That is, some UI widgets will still open Edge even if you change the default.
There used to be an awesome open source project called EdgeDeflector that would fix that. Microsoft got wise to it and found a way to neutralize it, which killed the project. https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector
- It May Not Look Like Much, But it’s Got it Where it Counts.pretty much all of those are.

How to redirect Windows 11 Microsoft Edge links to Firefox or Chrome (working as of Jan 2023)
1) Install EdgeDeflector. (Note: Edge deflector is deprecated without the next fix. You no longer need to browse into Default Apps to select EdgeDeflector).
- Web-Standard Frontpage Layout (Template)
-
I own my PC, btw
It’s a very intentional thing that Microsoft ignores the default browser in many cases. They’ve already killed one workaround tool that fixes this: https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector

search from win logo opens internet search results in EDGE, my default browser is chrome.
Idk if Edgeeflector can actually overcome this but it worth a try yk
-
How to set Firefox as your default browser on Windows
*cough* edgedeflector *cough*
-
Pretty sure that Microsoft created this context menu to promote Search with Bing.
It probably opens Edge anyway, so you could use EdgeDeflector to handle the browser opening.
