Citation needed? Linux users pining for Microsoft products is a rarity. Why would they go for a closed-source browser when they can go with the open-source, non-google Chromium (same engine) or Firefox?
Plus one here and a few more in my company. I already run official Google Chrome everywhere and I don't give a hoot about running closed-source software, such as the official VS Code binaries.
I'm on Linux because it's the most practical choice for me, not because I'm a FOSS warrior. I want Edge because it's going to be a well-maintained option to get away from Chrome if I they start doing things I don't like, such as limiting ad-blocking with Manifest v3.

One reason I might use it on Linux is to test our website/product UX on Edge and ensure wider coverage.
Would Edge for Linux be a valid test for Edge/Windows? Wouldn’t there be things like text rendering which would be platform specific?
Afaik , websites on all chromium based browsers look same.(because core of these browsers are same)
So,testing on edge would render same as chrome.
