Microsoft Say Edge May Come to Linux "Eventually"
When Microsoft announced it was switching the foundations of its home-grown Edge browser to a Chromium base we asked if it might allow the app to come to Linux.
[...] Microsoft's Kyle Pflug responded to the tux question on Twitter. He said that a Linux build is something the Edge team would "like to do eventually" but they 'can't commit to Linux just yet'.
Not yet – it's something we'd like to do eventually (our build system runs on Linux) but we're taking things one step at a time starting from Win10, and can't commit to Linux just yet.

That's a good question, so I thought Id try to answer it, but packages.gentoo.org doesn't have a "depends-on" search. And I was surprised to find this in gnome-shell ebuild:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/gnome-base/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-3.24.3.ebuild [gentoo.org]
So it would appear even gnome can be installed without systemd .. though the use flag comes with some warnings:
https://www.gentoo.org/support/use-flags/ [gentoo.org]
So no simple list of what needs systemd still ...
