Weird, why do they only say "not for Linux" on the site

WTF is weird? That is a download link, and there is not a version for Linux of any kind yet.

Could they say something else? Sure. But that does not make what I see as weird.

Especially as you don't see that on any other OS.

I just find it weird that you go to the download site to see if it is available and instead of promoting the product, they shoot you down. They don't hint that you should look into it more, or check back eventually.

They are already promoting it to almost 98% of everyone. I'd say they are covered and won't lose out over waiting a little longer to announce something to way < 1%.

Weird, why do they only say "not for Linux" on the site when they have it on the roadmap. Why not let people know it is coming, or for which Linux platforms?

I'm sure you can take a guess that it'll be available, at least first, for "the" most used Desktop Linux OS, Ubuntu.

Just because MS takes so long to make software? LOL Why would it take a while? That's the real question.

Definitely not the longest I've seen

I can understand why Linux desktop OSs take the back seat, and even more-so Fedora Workstation.

Kinda of, except Android is Linux so in theory, they already have it working and just haven't released it. Would they want to modify it? Sure, but it is Linux ready before they even start, so making it not work universally from the get go is weird.

Android is not the same as a Linux Desktop OS.

But, your argument that the product must be bad because they didn't release it for something nobody really uses doesn't fly. Numbers speak.

Again with the fan boy stuff.

Don't throw your hate on me because it's better than the web browser you're so emotionally attached to... It's not my fault

Does it work on other OSes?

Yes, it works on all of the OSs that the majority of graphical web browser users would be running. So Mac, Windows, IOS, and Android. Linux Workstation/Desktop users are pretty small user base in comparison to the others just mentioned. I'm sure their focus is to polish it for those before focusing on the major Linux desktop OS flavors.

I'm not using markdown editing in WP (wish I could), but I am using the classic style, because it just integrates so much better with other plugins such as Yoast and Enlighter. The editing experience is better IMO than the default.

I can see it taking over Google Chrome as top choice for users who are browser-aware. IMHO, Microsoft did it best.

For your local devices, you can use only Azure AD for logging in to your PCs. You don't need local AD for that. You also don't need Intune or anything for just basic oversight.
