You and the rest of the team as well. You've done a remarkable job of moving Edge along this year.
I'm hoping that Edge Linux syncing will be enabled relatively early next year, and I'm hoping that Edge Linux will, when stable, be released as a Snap and/or a Flatpak as well as .deb and .rpm packages.
The need for syncing is obvious -- what purpose would Edge otherwise serve for the target Edge Linux audience, Windows/Linux cross users? The need for Snap/Flatpak release is less obvious, but it exists because a significant number of Windows/Linux cross users use Linux distributions (e.g. Arch-based distros like Manjaro or independent distros like Solus or Clear Linux) that don't support .deb or .rpm packages. Almost all Linux distros now support Snap, Flatpak or both.
I'm also hoping that Microsoft will put a platform comparison table on the Edge website at some point, allowing cross-platform Edge users to understand which features are available on each platform, and which are not. Right now, it is something of a crapshoot to figure out which Windows features are enabled on Android, iOS and Linux, and a comparison table would be a great help.
