Yes, the Linux Foundation should only support LINUX SOFTWARE; that's somewhat axiomatic, no?
Describe the bug Current documentation and README describe only Windows build instructions making some of us spend lots of time figuring out how to even start building under Linux. As I guess some ...
https://github.com/o3de/o3de/labels/platform%2Flinux is some more info you can read up on.
It is not that hard to understand why supporting a AAA engine available under an open source license makes obvious sense.

There will come a day when Linux is no longer very relevant to the computing world, yet there's no reason the organization Linus built couldn't handle other software projects in a similar way.
I think 3D engines have become one of the more fundamental building blocks, in the software landscape. Behind the kernel and web browsers, they're possibly one of the biggest, widely-used software modules that most people interact with on a routine basis. There's substantial value in this software being free and open source, and I say that without even predicating it on Linux support.
As OBWANDO said in post #35:
The reason (Linux support) isn't complete is because we felt it was better to get this out into the community and have people build upon it, rather than delaying and trying to make the perfect release in open source.
There is Linux support, but it has not been completed. The plan is to get Linux up with Vulkan support running the full editor. Right now two groups have been working on getting all of the underlying elements squared away to pave the road for this next step.
For Linux building, you can start here: https://o3de.org/docs/user-guide/platforms/linux/ (no need for windows or VS to build core).
We would love to have some people help accelerate the Linux development.
Discord is very active here: https://discord.gg/xNb2q4SJKJ

They recently hired a large team including the creator of Python for major Python performance improvements. They work across many open source projects these days.
None of those information say what actually M$ does that benefit anything but M$.
And yes a lot of people are still sad for M$ embracing Python...

Linux Foundation should be a foundation that hosts dead projects? Already begun with Servo. If Linux foundation's future is bright like Apache foundation's present, I don't think anyone should be happy about this.
