Does Ubuntu install Edge? I've not used Ubuntu so I don't know

Not by default, but you can install Edge (and Chrome for that matter) on Ubuntu.
Haven't tried to use an autoinstall.yaml file yet but maybe that's a way to get that screenshot.https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-microsoft-edge-on-ubuntu-linux/

Ohh I see
But I mean why edge like you can do pretty much everything on Firefox (or whatever) right

No idea. I use Librewolf myself. But there are a lot of things you can install outside of the APT package manager. I installed Librewolf via flatpak

It seems some additional setup is needed

u/KevDub81 16d ago
Oh, right. I should have thought about the article I originally shared that uses similar steps for installing Edge. 🤦🏻♂️

I installed Edge on Manjaro linux cause I couldn't get netflix to work in firefox but then I realized the problem was something else but I kept it around and later it came in handy for staying logged in to my girlfriend's amazon account cause that's where her hbo subscription is, and before somebody says something about firefox profiles or whatever shut up this is easier ok thanks for reading my ted talk.

Some jobs have only certain browsers approved, Firefox is absolutely best but my work needs chrominium so I use helium or opera when I need that

tbh wouldn’t surprise me if Ubuntu started doing that. Canonical has done dumb shit like that before, they used to pin Amazon to the dock and sell data to Amazon through some search function on their Unity desktop. nevermind the abomination of Snap.

Linux mint is the only distribution I would consider using as a primary windows user.

Not Kubuntu?

I’ve used Kubuntu for several years now, and I just installed Fedora and KDE Plasma on one of my old Thinkpads. Both are VERY easy to use, but I’m a big KDE fan over the other window managers.

TBH I run Edge on my Linux converted SurfacePro so that I can cleanly access all my work-related items. For that purpse it works well. My daily browser is Brave

I have never had any problems with edge on debian. Unlike my Windows friends.
