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.

Is that what they're actually saying?
One could also interpret this statement that "runs on Linux" means "the build system is also available for Linux."
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
