Good Morning. Yesterday after testing Luminar AI I decided to buy it, it is a magnificent software, we must admit it. I have two hard drives on my PC, one for Windows and the other for Linux, and whoever uses Linux knows very well that he limps in photography, it is not the same. Have you considered the idea of ​​compiling the program to be able to install it on Linux? If I'm honest it would be quite a revolution, I take it for granted, not everyone who uses Linux uses the GPL program, I also buy my applications, even if they are proprietary. I imagine that time and money would have to be invested, but I can assure you that (even if you get a Beta) in experimental .DEB format, you will see that you will be front page news and the downloads in turn would increase, with that, more than one user will surely He thinks about it every day and buys it. I know that in the world it works like this, but you should give the Linuxera community a chance, you will see that they will take it with open arms. You do not need an official, do an experimental tester, put it on the front page and you will see the reaction of half the world. I am the first to download it, I assure you. The program you have created is fantastic and for Linux, it would be the final leap. Excuse my intrusion, nothing is further to bother, I just wanted to express an idea, which surely many want. Kind regards.

  Hello.

  Will be a nice way for Linux USER . I bought Linux AI and it great.

  But I like to have it on linux too. I work with linux more then Windows.

  Maybe one Idea. Is there a way to install it with wine, lutris oder PlayonLinux.

  Please do something for linux users.

  I agree a Linux version would been sweet! I am on Linux but need to dualboot just for Luminar Ai!
  I really wish you could make a Linux version and I pay happily again to get it

  Best regards
  Peter

  I use Linux exclusively and have Windows in a VM. I recently bought Luminar AI, but old OpenGL drivers in the VM make it hard for me to use the software.

  Please consider a linux version!

  I have a chromebook. It seems you only support windows and mac. 

  You are missing out on a large customer base, namely: linux (and chrome os).

  Chromebooks are here to stay. Look forward in the 21st century, not back in the 20th.

  I am ready to buy, but not until your tools are available for linux (or chrome os).

  Please let me know when Luminar is available (any and all of Skylum products).

  I get the impression that photography software companies do not pass on their Linux products because they think they are not going to make money or it is a waste of time. Look at Steam, do you think the games are all free? There are great titles for sale and they have been transferred to Linux and their sales success has been extraordinary. Neither Adobe, Neither Capture One, Neither ON1, DXO Phololab, nobody has promised to pass their software to Linux, but pay attention, for MacOS yes! worth the irony being also a UNIX system.

  I think that it is also a good market choice, as it would be the only good image editor in Linux, so all Linux users are potentially a client (as everyone use and edit photos nowadays)

  I also agree with Suso, it has support for Mac being a UNIX system, so it wouldn't be that hard to adapt it for Linux, and, again, there is a huge market out there.

  And, as pointed by Lawerence, the Linux market is growing every day, so it is a future bet (a safe one I think)

  I would buy the software, but I can't because I don't have a Windows machine or a Mac.

   

  Waiting for Luminar to be available on Linux, until then I will keep editing my photos on GIMP, it is not as powerful though.

  +1 for Linux support, I have a 2018 Macbook Pro for travel for which I bought two Luminar seats yesterday, but my second seat as a main computing machine is waiting with 12 overclocked cores with Linux. I use Darktable + Gimp, which is really promising software, but your neural network algorithms with a really simple GUI are a killer one.

  Hello dear Luminar team. I now own 2 Chromebooks and again 8 for the company. We would love to use Luminar again. Unfortunately I had to find out that there is still no ChromeOS / Linux version. I ask you to change this as soon as possible.
