Will we ever see a Linux version?

Is there any intention of producing a Linux version of emClient

Not likely as per the small percentage of peeps globally who use Linux compared to Windows and Mac as @Michal_Burger advised in another thread post below on this subject, that it would Quote: not make much sense from a business point, and typically these are users that are not use to pay for any kind of software as they use opensource and free products only.

(Quote extracts) from the following thread posts.

“Based on StatCounter (Operating system/Windows share (December 2023) | Born’s Tech and Windows World)
the market share on desktop is 73% Windows, 16% macOS and 4% Linux”.

“This would not make much sense from the business point”.

“With Chromebooks it is a bit different story. We plan to support Chromebooks in our Android app soon”.

Suggest you also read this Linux thread if you haven’t already, where some users have tried getting it to working on Linux other ways via Wine and Crossover etc.

I personally would recommend the Mac if you don’t use Windows anymore and haven’t used a Mac, as it’s a rock steady platform and works great with eM Client and has all the apps like Windows now.

Ps I have tried just about every flavour of Linux but it’s too limited and difficult for the average user. 99% of my friends all use Windows or Mac.
