Hey folks! bengotow here—the linux version is /almost/ ready, though the debian and rpm packages above should work. I'm working with some folks at Canonical to get the app packaged as a Snap (Snapcraft.io) so that Linux users will finally get autoupdates and I can ship a single format to everyone. Back when I worked on Nylas Mail, we had a ton of trouble with Linux because users would download a .deb or .rpm and then never update it, so I was hoping to stop distributing those entirely.
Feel free to grab the version from the link above, just come back and switch to the auto-updating snap when it's ready!
- simon_o 9y agoThe right approach is to include your own package repository in the deb file so that it gets automatically added to the system when people install the application.
- sethhochberg 9y agoJust wanted to express thanks for continuing to support Linux reasonably well. I regularly use all 3 major platforms and hated that webmail was one of the only ways to get a somewhat-consistent interface across them; this is one of the things that drew me to Nylas in the first place before issues with a self-hosted sync engine pushed me away. I'll definitely be checking out Mailspring.
