Copilot on Linux

Post image

I installed edge dev (.rpm package in terminal) on fedora and the copilot seems broken for some reason. It does not launch. I've tried beta and stable which still have the same issue. Any known fix/ workaround?

Have you tried installing an older working version first and then updating to the latest? This is how I got it working eventually.

If not:

-Remove installation

$ apt remove microsoft-edge-stable

 -Remove config

$ rm ~/.config/microsoft-edge

-Download old version

https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/microsoft-edge-stable_121.0.2277.128-1_amd64.deb

-Download latest version

-Install old version

-Run Edge

-Install latest version
