I don't understand what makes this Linux specific. Does it upload binaries or something? I'm failing to see the bigger picture here.
In theory, the app can work on any Posix compliant Unix box and have fallbacks for tabs/sections where functionality is not implemented. However, this would require quite a bit of testing overhead. My current test suite matrix for a bunch of VMs with different auth methods already took quite a bit of effort to get working. I'm not sure I'd be able to ship new features/fixes quickly if the supported OSes list increases, at least for the time being.
