Identifying the partition type

As this method focuses on working with LVM, we will first confirm that our partition type is actually Linux LVM by running the below command.

When Microsoft announced plans to rebase its Edge browser on Chromium the chance of a dedicated Linux build went from pipe-dream to inevitability.

Chromium’s cross-platform codebase makes it the ideal foundation on which to build out a modern web browser. Three years since rumours first began swirling, Microsoft Edge for Linux is not only confirmed but it’s almost ready for testing.

Being the impatient sort we installed the Microsoft Edge Developer build on Ubuntu 20.10. This post will stop short of being a “review” per se (you’ll hear throughout this post: this is not a stable build) but I’ve included lots of screenshots and some general thoughts about how well the browser integrates with the default Ubuntu desktops.

Microsoft Edge for Linux Developer Build

A lot of what I’m going to go through in this post I learned from this YouTube video from BranchCache Bob, here’s the video. There are some differences, which I’ll point out below.  

The Problem

You have multiple VLANs, and have a mixture of devices with BIOS and UEFI and need to boot them from the network using PXE from a WDS server.

Prerequisites

• A Windows Deployment Server.
• A Microsoft DHCP server (does not have to be running on the same server as WDS).
• Have the DHCP server’s IP as a helper address on your network switch for each VLAN you want to boot.

You won’t have to wait too much longer to try Microsoft Edge on Linux — a preview version of the browser will be available to download next month.

Microsoft only confirmed its plan to bring Edge to Linux desktops late last year and had thus-far remain tight-lipped about precisely when and how the browser would be made available to users of Linux distros like Ubuntu.

In blog post Microsoft reveal Linux users will be able to download a preview version of Edge for Linux from October. This is in keeping with their stated plan to release it ‘sometime in 2020.’

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reiterated the plan. Speaking at Microsoft Ignite Live he said: “We’re bringing Edge to Linux next month so we can now use it across every major platform, including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.”
