1. Edge For Linux Mint
2. Microsoft Edge For Windows 7
3. Microsoft Edge Browser

Microsoft has revealed more details on what Linux users can expect in the upcoming Edge for Linux release.

In case you missed the news flash: Microsoft Edge for Linux will be available to download starting next month as a ‘preview’ release.

Having said that, the Edge dev preview packages are available as.deb and.rpm for Debian, Ubuntu-based, and Fedora, RHEL based distributions. Recently the package is included in the Arch user repository. This guide explains the steps on how to install Microsoft Edge in Arch Linux using compilation. And it covers the following points. Microsoft released Edge for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE Linux distributions in October, but it's still in a developer preview, which doesn't support AAD yet. Another update for Edge on. Trizen -S microsoft-edge-dev-bin Fedora installation instructions. On Fedora Linux, you’ll be able to get Microsoft Edge working, but you’ll need to do it with the official Microsoft Fedora repo, as there isn’t an RPM floating around (that we know of). To start the installation, import the Microsoft repo key.

Microsoft has been working on the new and improved version of Edge which is now based on the Chromium browser. During the annual conference in 2019, the team announced that Edge will also be available on Linux, and during Microsoft Ignite 2020 in October, they came through with their promise and announced the availability of Microsoft Edge on Linux as a dev preview.

Microsoft say this initial release will support all major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE. Downloads will be available as .rpm and .deb packages (not Snap, as I had suggest) from the Edge Insiders web page — and not from any specific Linux store front or package manager.

Microsoft Edge product developer Missy Quarry says the team working on the port want to make ‘every feature in our Windows and Mac Dev channels […] available in our Linux version’ but that, to start with, there will be some omissions.

So which features which won’t be available or working properly in Microsoft Edge for Linux Preview? The browser’s built-in sync features (bookmarks, passwords, etc); read aloud (which reads webpage text aloud); and differential updates will all be MIA.

“We are working hard to bring these to users as quickly as possible, while also ensuring it’s done right,” Quarry adds.

The good news is that a tonne of Edge’s other features — yes, it does have some — like enhanced privacy protection, web collections, new tab page layouts, Bing integration, and a customisable ‘immersive reader’, will all be present out of the box, ready for you to toy with.

Possibly even GPU acceleration on Linux? We’ll have to wait until October to find out!

I’ve added all of the information you’ve just read to the original “Edge is coming” article from earlier in the week too, so if you want to share word of Edge’s imminent arrival the earlier article is the one to link to.
