(Feature Request) Snap and Flatpak Possibility for Microsoft Edge
Hi,
I know Microsoft Edge for linux is still unfinished. But, I want to ask: Is there any possibility for release Microsoft Edge in snap and flatpak package?

dtantono115 At present Microsoft officially supports only Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE distros. Edge-Linux is not available for Arch-based distros or independents like Solus and Intel's Clear Linux. That follows Microsoft's pattern with WSL, and it is anybody's guess whether Microsoft intends to expand Edge-Linux support beyond the Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE corporate/enterprise base.
A Microsoft team member is reported to have said in a December podcast that support will be extended to additional distros after Stable is released, but Microsoft has given no timetable. Many of us are hoping that Microsoft will issue a Snap or Flatpak version, but no one outside Microsoft has any reliable information about when or whether that will happen.
The best we can do is to keep requesting ...
- Hi,
you can definitely request it using the feedback button on Edge, the more people request it, higher chance it will have.
press Edge (...) menu => help and feedback => send feedback
