I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    @NegativeLookBehind @cujo @BitingChaos some people don’t have much choice. Their jobs demand it. At least in Linux you’d be able to really sandbox them and route them through filters to prevent spying if you know what you’re doing.

      No, I get not having a choice. But he specifically used the word “hope” to describe his desire to have Office available for Linux.

        Would I rather use outlook on a work linux machine, or Thunderbird on a work windows machine? The former. Every. Single. Time. MS Office suite availability on Linux would make it easier to do my job, potentially

        I hope that Office will be available on Linux in addition to Adobe Acrobat. LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, etc. aren’t good enough for documents that use advanced Office features. Same thing applies to Acrobat.
