Linux Support

Thanks for creating great tool for developers.

May I know any plan to support Linux? I'm using Ubuntu Linux 24.04 for my workstation.

We have plans to support Linux, but it's not a high priority. The team hasn't started discussing the Linux virtualization solution yet.

We hope to be able to support by the end of this year, but this is not a 100% guarantee.

Ok, thanks

Looking forward to the Linux version

In a recent internal meeting, we decided to raise the priority of Linux support. We will likely conduct technical research in April, and may complete it in June or July.

Any progress on this?

I'm sorry for being late. I just confirmed with @ihexon. Currently, for our underlying virtualization project: ovm, if we want to support Linux, the development cycle will take about 1 month (based on crun implementation). Once ovm supports Linux, the oomol-studio app will need about 2 weeks for development (business code confirmation, app packaging, app upgrade, etc.).

The above is the time required if development is needed.

However, due to pressure from user growth, we can only focus on supporting the web version for now. It seems that we can only start supporting it once the web version is complete. Currently, @ihexon is the only one focused on the ovm project while I am focused on backend projects and app maintenance.
