Elliot Kirk Is a Linux version planned?
- Elliot KirkApr 08, 2019Former Employeexanplx, cjean, We are looking into releasing the next version of our Microsoft Edge browser on several platforms. Can you tell me more about your needs for having it on Linux?
Thanks,
Elliot- viniciusbezerraOct 09, 2019Iron Contributor
I particularly use dual boot with Linux (derived from Ubuntu) and I am required to use Chome to have my track record on 2 systems, if Edge were available I could use on 2 systems, it would be amazing to have it on LinuxElliot Kirk

Shipping it to the Linux ecosystem would perfect the cycle,
Microsoft recently said: We want your help to bring Edge browser to Linux

i know there is the OneNote web clipper extension

but that tight integration is something entirely different.

Elliot Kirk as a web developer I would really love to have a Linux version of Edge. First of all, I am a fan of Microsoft and their products. I am using Linux as my development OS because of performance and workflow reasons. But being able to use Visual Studio Code (Linux/Windows) and Office (Windows/Android/Linux->Web version) on all of my devices is just such a privilege.
One of the best new technologies I've seen at the moment is WebApps. The ability to independently install a WebApp locally and offline-capable from my browser in just 2 clicks on any device that runs a Chromium based browser is really cool. This will, in my opinion, gain more and more popularity. That's why it would be nice to have Edge more extensive integrated in VSCode, such as easier debugging or jumping from a console reference to code in VSCode.
That may push more developers to Edge imo.

TorstenDittmann Glad to see there's a lot of other developers out there besides me that would love Edge to come to Linux. If every other Chromium browser can do it, they should be able to as well. Fingers crossed.
