thealex11177yI hate this attitude that some companies seem to have. “Oh no, you could hurt yourself by downloading this app that’s not made for your system, therefore we will block you from downloading it because we know better.”

Well...it is that or getting thousands of emails asking why the .exe is not running on their shiny Linux distros.

Also... where did my Wine go? 😡 I can't right-click and select to run using Wine, I can't find it in activities... But it's installed... *sigh*

me: *downloading the EDGE-Win10 VirtualBox image from Microsoft*(the only image that's 64-bit)

@Brosyl nah... I have Windows 10 installation on an SSD but the EFI partition got fucked when Ubuntu installer decided to ignore the fact that I told it to install grub on the drive where it installed Ubuntu and it installed it on the EFI partition on the SSD

@Brosyl or because they care about their users and would rather not have them spend memory on something that is uninstallable on their machine?
We can flip this either way really dude. The idea of being able to download something that is uninstallable on your machine just because you can and getting upset about it seems kinda.....well.......childish. -
@AleCx04 you actually can't get onto this page unless you buy software, just sayin'...
