Same people who use Microsoft Edge on Linux.
Don't forget powershell. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/linux-overview
Ah right. Forgot about that cancer. If we are at it, also Visual Studio Code (or VSCode for short) too.
I unironically use PowerShell on Linux. It's the only shell with sensible key bindings.
I guess to each their own. I am so used to getting bash (emacs) keybindings in macos that it drives me crazy that they don't work in KDE and Xwayland apps.
Edge on Linux is great for getting boomers to use Linux.
Bots?
Humans don't do that
I know a grad student that does. Compiles it from source themself.
You can do that? And the machine doesn’t overheat and start letting the smoke out?
No, Linux can handle that. :-)
It is surprisingly easy to install Edge on Linux. I just had to do the forbidden thing, once, and then immediately remove it again.
