I know that the official comment regrading Linux support is that there are no plans to support it right now, I just want to say that there are people on Linux that are willing to pay for your product!

I'm developing cross platform mobile apps with HTML5 and I would jump at the chance of using Xamarin instead (I was a C# developer in another life).

I might just end up running it in a VM, but it would be great running Xamarin Studio on Linux.

Thanks :-)

Once we charge you, you would expect the same level of support that we provide users on other platforms. And The Linux desktop is just too fragmented for us to be able to do this and deliver the support you need.

Thanks for your quick reply Miguel, I do understand the difficulties of supporting the Linux ecosystem.

I hope that someday it becomes worthwhile for Xamarin to provide that support, in the meantime, another laptop or a VM will have to do. ;)

Xamarin 3.0 looks great, congratulations!
