Earlier today, moderators closed a thread in this subforum discussing GMS2 being ported to run on Linux.
I don't want to question the decision to close that discussion, it had mostly played itself out.
Where we were left is this:
If you are interested, please leave a comment below. "Interested in Linux" or "+1" or something to that effect, short and sweet, so we don't tempt the moderators to close down thread. Just enough to be counted.
If you're not interested in GMS on Linux, no problem -- that's fine, YYG is already on that path, so you can just ignore the this topic, please.
It may take centuries to hit 10,000 comments, or it may never happen. But if we can't be counted, YYG will say they can't see demand for it, and it'll never happen.
Thanks for your time!
Instead, the point of this thread is to provide GMC users with the opportunity to indicate their interest in a Linux edition.

Where we were left is this:
- YYG had announced a few years ago, when Sandy Duncan was still CEO, that they were planning to port GMS to Linux, and that the re-write they were working on for the IDE that has become GMS2 was going to enable that to happen.
- Their current roadmap shows intent to release a Mac OS X version in the next year or so, but no longer mentions Linux.
- I asked, and it was answered, that YYG do not currently see sufficient demand for a Linux edition, and so have no plans to release one. In order to change their minds, they will need to see evidence of a customer base in the 10's of thousands.
