Accessing and Updating Microsoft Edge on Linux Repository

Microsoft has made significant strides in recent years by releasing its popular web browser, Microsoft Edge, for the Linux operating system. If you're a Fedora or OpenSUSE user, updating the browser to its latest version is relatively straightforward. In this article, we'll explore the various ways to access and update Microsoft Edge on your Linux machine.

One of the most convenient methods is to use the terminal command to update the browser. For Ubuntu users, running the following command in the terminal will ensure that you're always running the latest version: `sudo apt-get install microsoft-edge-stable`

For OpenSUSE-based distros, you can simply run `zypper install microsoft-edge-stable` from the terminal. This command will automatically update the browser to its latest stable version.

Another option is to download the DEB/RPM package directly from the Microsoft Edge web page and install it manually. This method allows for more control over which version of the browser you want to install, as well as the ability to install beta or development versions.

To do this, navigate to the Microsoft Edge download page and select the package type that corresponds to your Linux distribution (DEB for Ubuntu-based distros or RPM for OpenSUSE-based distros). Once downloaded, simply run the installation command provided in the package instructions.

When it comes to updating Microsoft Edge on Linux, the process is similar to updating any other program installed on your system. Simply use your package manager to search for new package updates and download those that are available. For example, if you're using OpenSUSE's zypper package manager, run `zypper refresh` followed by `sudo zypper install microsoft-edge-stable` to update the browser.

One notable difference between updating Microsoft Edge on Linux versus Windows is that the browser cannot be updated from within the 'About' section. Instead, you'll need to use your package manager or manually download and install updates as described above.

In addition to installing the stable version of Microsoft Edge, you can also choose to install beta or development versions by modifying the package name. For example, to install the beta version on OpenSUSE, simply run `sudo zypper install microsoft-edge-beta`.

In conclusion, accessing and updating Microsoft Edge on Linux is a relatively straightforward process that requires minimal technical expertise. Whether you prefer to use your terminal command-line interface or download packages manually, there are several options available to ensure you're always running the latest version of this popular web browser.
