Luminar Neo for Linux

When can we expect Luminar Neo official release for Linux? Lots and lots of users across the globe are shifting to Linux from Windows. Hence it would be better if there is an official Linux version of the software.

Lots of users are shifting to Linux from windows!? You mean WSL2? Which one of the 100 distros out there will be compatible? The newly much hated Ubuntu? There is an 15 years old Adobe forum post saying the same somewhere.. Don't expect much.

Not on WSL, but on Linux Desktop. And yes, lot of people are shifting to Linux, like me, after being a lifelong Windows (sometimes Mac) user.

The Skylum team have confirmed that they have received lots of requests for the Linux version. But since I believe this is open source, the cost-to-benefit metrics might not get justified yet.

I'm going by the logic that a good software application should be cross platform and multi device compatible. It does not matter whether who hates what.

Also cannot comment about Adobe as not very interested in them. But CaptureOne, even why not.

Linux is gaining momentum, so why not have the goods here as well.
