CTO of CoScreen here: It has been a grueling labor of love to get where we are, and there still is a lot of work ahead of us. And we can only acknowledge the shoulders of the giants we obviously stand on, like Doug Engelbart. Linux is definitely on our roadmap. We want to know which distros are you most interested in for us to officially support first?

I'm an Ubuntu user but Debian in general is good. I'm sure others will chime in.

  Thanks for the feedback: Ubuntu LTS will definitely be one of our first supported targets. We hope to provide some universal binary, but ultimately our testing and in-house resources for verification are limited, and we dogfood our solution every single day on every one of our supported platforms. It will be interesting to see how widely adopted Wayland will become: CoScreen is very dependent on a lot of display server/OS level wizardry that honestly was unexpectedly difficult to achieve.

    One option is to go with snap and/or FlatPak as a distribution method which could cover more distros.

The eternal answer "on our roadmap", translates from PR-speak to actual-speak: "no significant userbase to justify any work". I guess we'll stick with gnu-screen and tmux for the time being.

  Totally understand your frustration. We started with macOS, then delivered Windows in around 3 months (just launched) and will tackle Linux next but granted that it is a ton of work given our deep integration into operating systems and we want to get it right.

  I realize your skepticism to my original answer, but I am 100% earnest about our intentions regarding Linux. It isn't a secondary concern for us, and we know how important it is for engineers. Most of the developers on our team are avid Linux users. My previous job was writing eBPF security drivers and device drivers, and I have used Linux for years. Linux is very near and dear to our hearts, and when I say it's on our roadmap, I mean it.
