After selecting the \u201cLinux (.deb)\u201d option, the Microsoft Edge DEB package will download to your computer. Once it is done, open up a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard and use the command below to enter the \u201cDownloads\u201d folder.<\/p>\n

\ncd ~\/Downloads\/\n<\/pre>\n

Microsoft Edge works on Debian as Microsoft has a DEB package available on the official download page. To get your hands on it, head over to the official Edge download page.<\/p>\n
