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 said, the availability of Edge on Linux would help web developers working on Linux. They'd no longer need to keep a Windows VM within reach solely to double check changes.

    Can you see the violence inherent in the Editors? Did you see him editing the FS?

    "Beware the janrinok, my son, the claws that snatch, the sharpie that redacts! The delete button the maims, the submission rejections that wound. It comes with a Burbling sound."

    The editor's job is to edit. Stories must be factual, accurate and must not contain any unnecessary bias. The comment regarding systemd belongs in the 'comments', where community members can express their own personal views but, in this instance, it would be off-topic. It had nothing at all to do with the story being quoted. I therefore did my job and removed it.

    It is precisely why so many of your own stories are rejected - I had thought that you would have realised that by now. And thank-you for mod-bombing 5 of my subsequent comments as 'Flamebait'.

      You are welcome, janrinok! But only two of those downmods were mine. I don't mod-bomb, though I do down-mod a lot when it is necessary, and it seems to be necessary a lot.

      How could you not think that systemd is relevant to a fine article on the insidious machinations of Micro$erf?

            (cont) I say, the lie. Because, he said 5. And, it wasn't 5. It was 2. But, maybe it's not a lie. Maybe the guy can't count to 2 without loosing count. Get some guys in yarmulkes to do the counting!!!!
