It looks like only the installer for OSX is up to date. Is Ubuntu supported? Where do Linux users other than OpenSUSE users get packages? Do they build it them

Generally, yeah. There is some ubuntu ppas but I wouldn't recommend them. It's not too hard to build, but it does take an age on a non-ssd machine.

      Yea I know about that, fixed. MVC5 is working, even razor views with some tweaks.

    Wildly off-topic but which GTK theme is that? Ex I like it's lack of visual clutter even against greybird or numix.

Packages for the major Linux distributions are being worked on, see http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2014-June/041658.html http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2014-June/... One of the early outcomes of this are CI packages built for each commit: http://www.mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Jenkins http://www.mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Jenkins

  Thanks for providing those links. I'm really excited to see Xamarin hiring a developer for Linux support issues.

yes build yourself, there are instructions on the net

You just have to wait a while for someone to build a package (and depending on distro, you might also have to wait a release), or just compile it yourself. Or, if you are "adventurous" and a good FOSS citizen, you can compile it yourself, and make a package.
