Verdict: No
No. Internet Explorer has no Linux version, and Microsoft retired it on Windows too in June 2022, so there is nothing to move across. Any modern browser replaces it.
Microsoft ended support for the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application on 15 June 2022 and pointed everyone at Microsoft Edge. It was never released for Linux at any point in its life.
This is not a loss. Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Vivaldi all have proper Linux versions, and most Linux systems come with Firefox already installed when you first log in. Whichever you pick will render modern websites better than Internet Explorer did in its last years.
Bring your favourites with you. Export bookmarks from the browser you use on Windows into an HTML file, copy that file across and import it on the other side. If you were signed into Edge or Chrome with an account, your bookmarks and passwords sync on their own once you sign in on Linux.
One thing does not transfer. A handful of old business and government systems still need Internet Explorer's rendering, which Microsoft keeps alive as IE mode inside Edge on Windows, supported through at least 2029. IE mode does not exist in Edge for Linux. If your bank or your employer still insists on it, keep a Windows machine or a Windows virtual machine for that one site.
Already installed on most beginner Linux systems. Imports bookmarks from an exported HTML file in a couple of clicks.
Your files: Imports bookmarks exported as HTML. Saved Internet Explorer passwords do not transfer and need retyping.
Microsoft's own replacement, with an official Linux version. Signing in brings your favourites and passwords across on their own.
Your files: Syncs favourites and passwords through your Microsoft account. IE mode is not available on Linux.
The same browser as on Windows. Sign in with your Google account and everything appears.
Your files: Imports bookmarks from an exported HTML file or syncs them through your Google account.
One stubborn program doesn't have to decide the whole question. You can keep Windows on the same PC and restart into it only when you need Internet Explorer. Everything else you do can move.
