I'm not sure if there's a huge demand for a Microsoft-developed browser for Linux but the Redmond giant just confirmed last week Edge is coming to Linux. After months of rumors, Microsoft confirmed the news at the Microsoft Ignite conference in Orlando. No launch date was provided for the Linux version of Edge. There isn't even a beta version yet so this could take some time.
The announcement came alongside an official confirmation that Edge Chromium will be released in a stable build on 15 January 2020 - the day after Windows 7 reaches EoL. This gives rise to the question of why test builds for Windows 7 were made available, but hey ho.
There's no such timetable available for the Linux version. The Windows and Mac versions have been in Canary and Beta for months, a process that the Linux version hasn't even started yet, and we don't know how far along the build is.
