We don't plan to add Linux support ourselves at the moment but we'd love if someone contributed that. As was mentioned elsewhere it might be challenging to provide a bundle that works across different distributions so investigating the possible options would be an important first step.

That's what I assumed was the case. Seems like a good opportunity for the community to take on for major distros.

An AppImage or Flatpak package would make a great starting point that works across distributions. Making Livebook more accessible to Linux developers would improve its adoption, as well as the adoption of Elixir, Phoenix, and Fly.io.

Have you looked into nix? Works for mac and linux.
