Will many traditional Linux users switch? That's not really a needed question and plenty will of course say no but having it available is important. Hey, you can even play a ton of AAA games in your browser now too. It feels like a pretty big occasion, although not the first official Microsoft application to actually land on Linux, it might end up being the most used since it's a web browser and so much depends on you using one nowadays. This means Edge will now be supported across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux. On their official Edge blog, they announced that Edge will be launched today via the stable channel making it generally available for Linux. Their browser, now based on the open source Chromium tech, was already available on Linux for a while but this was only in their preview channels but that changes today. Today they're properly releasing Edge for Linux. There are two different ways to install this new web browser on any Linux distro.Microsoft aren't a company we exactly cover often but it seems fitting to cover it here, especially given their history with Linux. The first one is by downloading the installation package from the web page of the browser. This website will automatically detect the operating system that we are using, and will allow us to automatically download the best version for our system. For example, we are going to download the version to install it on Ubuntu, so we will download the.
In case of using other distros not based on Debian, like Fedora, we should download the RPM package.īefore continuing, we will have to accept the license terms. Once the corresponding DEB/RPM package has been downloaded, we run it on our computer by double-clicking on it. The package manager of our computer will open, and we will be able to see general information about it. For example, the version that we are going to install, the type of license, and the size of the program, among other aspects. We click on the “Install” button, enter the superuser password, or root, when asked, and wait for the installation to complete.
