Forum Discussion
There should be a separate category Linux here
It is not a question division, but a matter for users on Linux a place to come. Have you seen many MS edge on Linux users coming here? Have a look at the Vivaldi forum. The devs even reply to queries, and people know who the dev responsible for given platform is.
Windows Edge has a stable release on Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android, but not on Linux. Only a dev release, so not many are even trying. To get people to try, you have to have a place for them to come. I am just suggesting. I am open to all OSs.
The matter is what is good for Windows OS platform is not always or at all good for Mac OS or Linux. What might be a solution for the Mac OS might be good for Linux and vice versa, for they are Unix based.
The other matter is this an Insider discussion, so there would be very few, if at all Windows Insiders in the Linux world.
Also, MS still can't get out a stable release of Edge for Linux, which is why this forum/discussion should specially invite them to test the browser. All other browsers based on Chromium have stable releases for Linux, and they did that immediately.
Just got a email from Vivaldi, (image below), already on every platform.
By the way, Edge web capture saves files in .jpeg, but they cannot be uploaded to this place.
- "The matter is what is good for Windows OS platform is not always or at all good for Mac OS or Linux. What might be a solution for the Mac OS might be good for Linux and vice versa, for they are Unix based. "
when someone starts a new topic, they have to provide necessary information, what OS they are using, which channel and version of Edge they are using. that is important, if they don't do that, then they will be asked by someone else to provide those info, if they want help from community.
"The other matter is this an Insider discussion, so there would be very few, if at all Windows Insiders in the Linux world. "
There is nothing about Windows insider in here, it's all about Edge insider.
"Also, MS still can't get out a stable release of Edge for Linux, which is why this forum/discussion should specially invite them to test the browser. All other browsers based on Chromium have stable releases for Linux, and they did that immediately. "
Edge Linux is not going to stay on Dev forever.
when the new Edge became available, there was only Canary and Dev channel, after many months came Beta channel, and after months was the first stable release.
it's safe to assume that the same applies to Edge for Linux"Edge Linux is not going to stay on Dev forever.
when the new Edge became available, there was only Canary and Dev channel, after many months came Beta channel, and after months was the first stable release."That is exactly why I say, there should be a category Edge for Linux here. It is up to the organizers of this "forum" to consider. All my friends who use Windows to work don't use MS Edge, even if it is there, they use Chrome or Firefox. Something to ponder about, if any developer/organizer comes here.
- They can get out stable version, it's just linux version is not stable enough to be out.
Vivaldi have the most buggy stable version i ever seen, microsoft will not out a unstable product.
Second they don't have targeted linux right away because Linux people are known to be against Microsoft so Microsoft released the mac version First.
