There is only one way that makes any sense, and that is as a trial run for freeing the rest of the Windows utility suite from depending on any emulation layer.
Edge is based on a highly portable browser. It has already been ported to macOS and Android. Porting to Linux probably doesn’t take that much effort.
While Linux users probably aren’t as likely to use Edge as users on other platforms, quite a few web devs use Linux and are likely to install Edge for testing purposes. There certainly isn’t “only one way” this makes sense.

This is the correct answer. Just because Edge, already based on a very portable technology, runs on Linux has nothing to do with what Windows runs.
