So I was going to go find the Download link for the Linux version of Edge to post as a joke, right?
So I googled (actually duckduckgo'd) "microsoft edge" and clicked one of the first couple of links that looked like it was probably the right place to go.
And was presented with this modal:
I'm visiting that page from Firefox in Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4.
Admittedly I'm running a user agent switcher because otherwise I get the mobile version of a lot of sites, but it's still funny to me. I like being able to say "the fuck it is."
Your Pi doesn't have Edge installed, but your eyes do.
I need to know what user agent you are using before I can make a proper assessment. "Haha Microsoft thinks my Linux computer has edge installed", if you present it outward as a Windows pc, isn't really fair.
