[Linux Build]

As a small business owner myself, I understand that completely.

Mac will never happen.

May I ask why?  Are there some sort of technical limitations here, or is it about dedicating resources to it?  No market for it?

Yeah, this discussion has been done to death at this point. There are several of us that would love to see it done but financially it makes no sense for Jason to dedicate time and resources to this, the market simply is not there to make it feasible. We have run polls on the subject and while there is a small and very passionate userbase for a Linux port it simply is not big enough.

I understand that, but read some of my edits.  When the time comes, .NET 5 should take care of things for you.

You need to add Mac users to your calculations as well.  It's not just a Linux thing.

The problem and will remain the problem for the foreseeable future is the potential sales. As much as I would love to see a Linux version of Launchbox and even make the switch to Linux full time for myself there simply is not enough of a user base to make it worth Jasons time to port Launchbox over.

Count me as a lifetime customer that wants Linux support - because I'm completely switching to it.   Time to start a fork to dotnet core 3.1, even if it's just a stripped down version of the database features to start - I can live without BigBox for now.

You're also missing out on potential Mac customers, unless there's already support for that.

And just as a note, I've been a .NET/c# developer since the 2.0 beta, so I understand that this isn't an easy task.   

Heck, I'm going to really miss Visual Studio, but it is what it is for me.

Open-Source this new "Launchbox Core", and Jason will get all sorts of support.  Sounds like he needs a vacation anyway.

Also, .NET 5 is coming.   Standard is dead.

Thank you.
