First of all, thank you for your appreciation and kind words. Second, some older Windows tests have shown that Edge is very good for preserving battery life on laptops. If they manage to make it power-conscious on Linux as well, this alone could be a very good reason to take it for a spin — if not switch to it for good.

I'm a full time Linux user (and avid reader of notebookcheck.net).
Am I eager? Not really.
May I give it a try? Potentially.
In my view the point is: is Edge going to offer something more for me compared to other web browsers that are already well integrated with Linux?
I'm in academia and 99.9% of my colleagues work with MS Office. This would be something to be eager for, in my personal view.
P.S. I take the chance to thank you guys for all the great reviews and articles!

Once considered something impossible, Microsoft Edge's availability for Linux is now in sight. According to the developer team behind it, Microsoft's browser is not ready for Linux yet, but there is no technical difficulty that can keep this piece of code away from the Unix-based open source operating system.
