Unfortunately , Microsoft has deleted it's own UserVoice Account dedicated to Microsoft Edge , this is ironically my most accurate way to give feedback to Microsoft Edge being a Linux User .
Any Microsoft Edge Developer , if you are reading this let me brief you in .
As you are already aware Linux Distros slightly vary from one another , you will reach out to most Distros just by making DEB and RPM Packages and hosting them on the edge Website , it is not recommended to try and get on the repository of any Distro specifically . All Repository Maintainers will get your product up for you , Repositories are notoriously difficult to publish for directly .
All things considered , you will have to forget about automatic updates . This is still not a big deal , like I said Repo Maintainers will keep up to date for you , you can also keep Repo Maintainers on a Mailing List and keep them informed of major updates , ensuring every respectable Distro stays up to date .
And yes , there is the case of very good Distro Bases that don't recognize packages and of course BSD , which should not be left out , Microsoft Edge can accommodate both of these niches by additionally maintaining a BSD compatible Tarball alongside the DEB and RPM Packages .
Remember to make reclusive DEBs , RPMs and BSD Tarballs , you don't have to accommodate any particular Linux or BSD Distro , just use the Reclusive Package , Mailing List and Website Model .
Making reclusive DEBs , RPMs and BSD Tarballs are quite simple , please contact me further so I can give detailed instructions on how to make them .
