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. 😂

Yes, because I am forced to use M$ Teams.

and it doesn't work in firefox

MS Teams work in Firefox over here.

Joining calls doesn't work for me, tried it again a couple of days ago.

Discord, Jitsi, Google Meet, Nextcloud Talk and everything else works fine in Firefox, only teams refuses to work.

That's very strange... Submit a big report then.

Strange. The other day I had a call on Teams with a customer and had no problems using Firefox 117.0 on NixOS, but I recall that some months ago some features (like microphone and screensharing) where unavailable.

Maybe Microsoft hasn't rolled out the update in your region/org?

[-] techognito@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

My org is slow to get updates, that might be it

edit: tried call from M$ Teams today and got the popup saying :

Try a different browser This feature isn't available yet for your browser. Try the web app with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, or switch to the desktop app.

And then a download link

I'm on FF117 on Fedora (F38)

Second edit:

changing User-Agents worked to remove the popup, but crashed FF instead

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
