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

- HotCakeXSep 10, 2019MVPThe OneNote integration with the Edge is really a must-have feature for the Edge insider.
i know there is the OneNote web clipper extension

but that tight integration is something entirely different.- Drew1903Sep 10, 2019Silver ContributorThis, like everything else is supposed to be coming. Patience grasshopper 🦗

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.

Elliot Kirk well there is a big market out there for users who enjoy using Microsofts apps & services outside of the Windows platform. Having the new MS Edge available on Linux would make users using Edge on distros based on (Debian, SUSE, Arch, Fedora .etc) very happy ;)
✔Most users are already familiar with the Browser and it's UI (Clean, Simple, Secure, Fast)
✔Running services such as Office 365 apps via Edge browser in a Linux Enviroment
✔You'll receive plenty of feedback from developers on that platform as well on how to improve this browser for the modern web period
MS Edge Dev team just gotta make sure it's available as a Simple install from the Gnome Software App could be (Snap/Flatpak) or simple few lines of code on the official webpage for users to add to their linux terminal to get the correct repositories and get a stable released installed and running should be a piece of cake...

Elliot KirkLinux user here as well.
As much as I do not like the idea of Edge using Chromium as solution (engine diversity is a good thing IMHO), I think it's a great opportunity for Microsoft - for the first time ever - to be present in the Linux world in the browser side.As developer, perhaps there's no big advantages (right now). I can test things on Brave, Chromium or even Chrome on Linux.
As user, I'm curious to see what Edge will bring and I'd happily give it a try.Firefox and Brave are my default choices because of the innovative things on the user perspective.

Elliot Kirk As a user to benefit of account syncing between devices and all other Edge features and as a developper to be sure that all our websites/apps are working properly
- Elliot KirkApr 08, 2019Former EmployeeThis is great feedback cjean. I have already reached out to the folks responsible and let them know the what and the why. Please keep using the browser and let me know if you have any other feedback.
Thank you,
Elliot- xanplxApr 08, 2019Brass ContributorLet them know the what and why on Linux/Ubuntu support, or was this to something else?

Just installed Insider build and checked all my favourites. Looking good so far!

Elliot Kirk As a web developer I do like to test sites on as many platforms as possible. I know it's going to use the Chromium engine so hopefully things just work as they do in other Chromium browsers. As far as I'm aware, every single one has a Linux version: Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, Chromium, Chrome, etc.
If Edge for Linux worked well enough I may even use it as my primary browser.
