Arm64 linux support?
just don't understand having it for hololens and not providing Linux arm64 build
@lostmaniac and @CanuteTheGreat, please just use the like function.
We still don't know will MS add aarch64 Linux support, if you really need a chromium based browser on your device, maybe Vivaldi or Brave is a good choice for you.
If you release Edge for Linux aarch64 please make sure it supports kernels with a 16kb page size (which Asahi Linux is using). Thanks!
Bonus points if, whenever this is released, it is a musl-compatible static binary. It would be nice to have access to Bing Chat on devices running alpine-based distributions like PostmarketOS.
(I'm not going to hold my breath for that though, as there is still not a released compatible build for even VS Code, which is the MS software I would most expect to support the broadest array of unusual "maker" hardware.)

I run vscode on arm64 for months if not years... Chromium/Electron has arm64 already, it is just MS focus to adding emojis to Teams

Microsoft only releases one arm64 linux build, and it relies on glibc. It does not run on musl systems (alpine, postmarketOS, etc). The lack of a truly generic linux binary is just because they don't want to build it, as the open source builds for OSS Code (and many other electron-based apps) work just fine on such systems. (In any case, this isn't really the place for me to gripe about it. Maybe I'll open an issue in microsoft/vscode later.)
this is just a bit of pro-campaigning on my part but since Chromium ditched their support for account sync I think the door is wide open for Microsoft Edge to land on linux AMD64 distros, especially all those fledgling developers with a Raspberry Pi device. I may be one of those 😁
