Edge-Linux Flatpak Beta - Unofficial
Microsoft Edge Dev is now available for testing in an unofficial* Flatpak beta. This might be of interest to Community members using Arch-based or independent (e.g. Solus, KaOS, Clear Linux) distros...
that is wonderful and I know Edge for Linux is still unfinished with missing Microsoft sync account. Suppose, edge get a stable version. Will you release the edge stable for flatpak as well?
- Maintainer of the Edge Flatpak package here. Yes, I will release the stable version when it comes out.
Change of plans, I decided to not release the Edge stable Flatpak yet because the Chrome Flatpak isn't on stable. My work is based on the Chrome Flatpak so Edge depends on it.
Edit: There is already an open discussion on GitHub for anybody that wants to follow, I'll be posting updates there: https://github.com/flathub/com.microsoft.Edge/issues/88

I am not affiliated with or contributing to the project, but I understand that Edge-Linux Stable will be packaged when it is released, and put into the Flathub stable repository.
- Because flatpak and snap package almost has a similar characteristic. do you also plan for edge for snap as well?
- If they do a snap as well, then they continue more fragmentation Flatpaks already tun everywhere, including futuristic Linux distributions that only run flatpaks. Hopefully Microsoft will have the wisdom to say.... one format is enough.
