How many more kids would learn to code with an offline Linux desktop version, given that a superior version also runs in the browser? Compare that to internationalization, which they support out of the box with 40 languages, and which countless projects ignore. What features should they have sacrificed for the port? Sound and music? Lego mindstorms integration? I don't think it's sad that the offline version doesn't run on Linux. It sounds to me like they know their target market and are prioritizing their engineering effort quite well.

To be honest, if it runs in the browser then it should not be that difficult to make a portable off-line version that launches a server that lets you open stuff through localhost.

Snap is written in JavaScript. Even if there's no internet in the classroom, it's easy to set up an ad-hoc wifi and a web server to make Snap available on any wifi-capable device with a web browser.
