Linux Support
The current banding only mentions Windows and Mac for the new client, but a not insignificant portion of modders use some form of linux as their daily driver OS.

PC support will roll out first followed shortly by Mac.
Linux support will be addressed later on.
We realize there are Linux OS gamers and creators and want to offer them the CurseForge experience, however we require time.

The CurseForge Launcher should be ported to Linux :) Merged
The launcher already supports Windows and macOS. Additionally, Forge already works since Linux has the open-source implementation of Java (openJDK). The only thing missing then is the UI, which hopefully wouldn't be too difficult, given that it is...0 Future consideration

It is almost the end of 2021. You have had this on MacOS, already a UNIX-based OS, for about a year. It is a Chromium-based application. HOW THE HECK IS THIS NOT ALREADY ON LINUX YET!?

Trying to download the client from a Linux browser (Chromium), I get this message: "The CurseForge app is not meant for mobile. Please retry on a PC or Mac computer."
@Team Overwolf: Get your terminology straight. PC is not just Windows. A PC is just a tool capable of running a variety of operating systems.

I gave up on Windows over a decade ago, so it would be great if I could play with my friends.
P.S. "PC support" is not the same as "Windows support". I run my Linux OS on a PC. :)

Apparently curseforge modpacks are entirely open to normal http requests?
https://github.com/cdbbnnyCode/modpack-installer/blob/master/mod_download.py
If so I think an enterprising Linux user could clone the client (and maybe leave out all the overwolf BS).

I can't get it to run or install in Wine or Lutris in Tumbleweed. Any suggestions?

Luckily, Forge is still updated and running. Just got it working on Ubuntu 20 so I can run MC 1.12.2 mods!

Are Linux Devs gonna include the advert channel in their build of the app?? Doubt it, and that's the reason you'll never see the code.

ADMIN RESPONSE
"Linux support will never be addressed. You will never be allowed to view the source code, let alone contribute to it or make your own build. We want to do our part to preserve the duopoly in consumer computing by not supporting anything but Mac OS and Windows. Long live proprietary software models. Down with freedom."

Linux users are smart as many of us are either computer devs or something like it. if you just add a linux install the linux users will find a way to make it work on linux then those of us who arent professionals with computers and all that will follow along a post or tutorial or something.
