I have until recently dabbled with Linux and used all the common programs and bar one of the programs you mention. Why simulate MacOS when you can have the real thing fully supported and with Scrivener 3 as well. This is the company that faced down the FBI on device security. I’ve yet to see them do anything against freedom of speech.

Internal breaches of even minor level are handled very firmly. They have extensive privacy provisions in place and a significant part of their training is focused on customer privacy. While I agree there may be some companies who play loose with our privacy, Apple is most certainly not one of them. If there is some clever way where I may simulate MacOS on my Linux, and run Scrivener on that, that’ll be good enough for me, but I still think KB and team should seriously consider joining the Linux pre-boom sooner rather than later.

I’ve already installed Ubuntu on my second Mac (my next computer will be self built and entirely Linux based), and I’m learning to use GIMP in place of Photoshop (although Adobe itself is thus far innocent in the aforementioned tech giant crimes), Kdenlive in place of Premiere or Final Cut, etc, and I’m setting up accounts on Bitchute, Gab, etc, as I’m leaving Youtube and Twitter behind, I’m not sure yet which alternative to Facebook is best, but I’m in the process of finding out.īut I love Scrivener! And, particularly, I love Scrivener 3! So please restart Scrivener for Linux! I’m sure the move away from the established monolithical (and oppressive) tech giants that I’m part of will only grow and grow in the coming years (see the TEDx talk on how the mainstream will eventually move to the darknet), and I’m sure the Linux community will welcome and support (as in buy) a powerful, full Linux version of the best writing application that ever was devised - Scrivener. alternative services, Linux and other “off-grid” alternatives. This has been building up in me for a long time, but in light in the increasing crimes against privacy and freedom of speech, at the hands of the tech giants, I am going all in for open source.
