I was, however, able to test Edge on my Slackware system without issues by extracting out the contents of the deb and running the main executable directly. It’ll be interesting to see how Microsoft treats users of other distros and if they will allow repackaging (Google actually prohibit redistribution for Chrome, which is problematic for those that need to repackage). Thus you will find active Vivaldi users on Arch, Gentoo, Solus, Slackware, and many others. We also gladly consider bugs from users of any distro that is still supported by upstream for desktop usage. We don’t really care so much about alternative installation options being provided, so long as nothing nefarious is done and the contents of the packages are not modified before distribution (outside of minor mods to allow the build to run or conform to distribution file-system layouts). rpm packages.Įssentially this would appear to be the same as Vivaldi, although while we only offer these package types “officially”, we have long encouraged maintainers of distros using other packaging formats to repackage for their users.
Distribution support of Edge on LinuxĪs a long-term user of Slackware, I was not totally surprised to find that (according to the official announcement) only Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE distributions are currently supported by Edge on Linux, which means only. That bias is hard for me to avoid but nonetheless here are my initial thoughts and feelings after playing with the new Edge browser for half an hour. Now, of course, I will be biased – for me, Vivaldi is the best browser for Linux. It’s always great to have an interesting addition to the Linux browser landscape.
Since there has been a lot of fuss about the new Linux entry to the market – the Edge browser on Linux – and being a bit of a browser geek myself, I thought I would give it a spin.
