Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC

When will they ever learn?

Oh, so they’re on board with convincing people to move to Linux. Good job!

Make yourself at home!

I’m already at $HOME

Why are you at my home???

Don’t worry, they’re at /$USER/$HOME

/{username}/home/{username}

What is this path supposed to be?

/home/$(whoami)

Please use $HOME instead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual /home/$USER format. The root user is a good example, having their $HOME set to /root.

Oh heh, yeah, o’course! I wasn’t really meaning that seriously, more just riffing off the thread of silly $HOME expansions. :3

Probably good to mention that in case someone comes along and thinks /home/$(whoami) is actually a good idea though, hah.

(Mac has normal users’ homes in /Users!!)
