To answer your question: > [@Travis](#): > > If the team ultimately decides it’s best to not develop a Linux version themselves, may I suggest open-sourcing FxSound so the community can port it to Linux? Assuming it’s written in a platform-agnostic language, porting the original code should be a relatively viable option. Although, given the fact the app isn’t already open-source, I take it the team has probably already considered it and decided on a reason to not open-source it. I am only a mod, but I am not aware of any current plans to opensource the software, so I can only assume that this is indeed the case. Quite a number of requests to opensource the software were made in [this thread](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/discontinuing-active-development-of-fxsound/1198) (which is [no longer current](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/restarting-active-development/1526), by the way). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/linux-version/1996)._
