Lemmy is so Linux-focused and people are surprisingly opinionated about it.

    you had a problem with chrome??? I was on zorin and used chrome. how did you install it? oh wait not your computer. did you have admin rights? I don’t think you could install chrome on a windows machine where you were given a user account that was not admin.

      I grabbed it from the little app approved store front thing or whatever that Zorin had. I tried a couple different methods and it would install fine but every time it launched, it would hard freeze the system. No other app or anything installed had a problem.

        yeah but where you on an admin account? because again windows would have issues installing software from a non admin to? You post sounded like your friend made an account for you.

          I did the install from scratch. I’m not here to diagnose why chrome didn’t work on an install I did a year ago.
