Microsoft kept good on their promise to release a Linux version of their Edge web browser product in October 2020. It's here with packages available for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE. The browser itself is not very unique or special, it's mostly just Chromium wrapped in a Microsoft. First, download the.deb or.rpm file from Microsoft Edge Inside site and install the package as shown. It will add the Microsoft repository to your system, which will automatically keep Microsoft Edge up to date. $ sudo dpkg -i microsoft-edge-.deb On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint $ sudo rpm -i microsoft-edge-.rpm On Fedora/OpenSUSE.

1. Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. Our Dev builds are the best representation of our improvements in the past week. They have been tested by the Microsoft Edge team, and are generally more stable than Canary.
2. 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.
