Insightful is available on Linux as well! This is, however, this is still in the beta testing stage, so in case you want to try it out, here's what you need to know.
The newest update for our Linux application brings it up to feature parity with other operating systems.
Always On Call and Custom Plugin for a specific customer are the only features that remain unsupported in the Beta.
Supported and Unsupported versions
The following Linux distributions are supported for both Company and Personal computer versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 or higher
Mint 18.04 or higher
Fedora v29 or higher
Redhat v8.3 or higher
Ubuntu 16+ and Mint 16+ are not supported (both reached end of life on April 30, 2021). Users on unsupported versions will no longer be able to start Insightful application after the update.
Important notes
32-Bit version of the software is not supported by any distribution.
Supported desktop environments are Gnome and Cinnamon. Insightful service install script on Redhat has to be run under sudoer with the command "su" before entering the script.
Supported Display Server is Xorg 11 so make sure to set it up before installing Insightful on your computer as per the instructions in the image below (usually displayed as Xorg or X11).
You can always check which display server you are currently using by entering this command into a terminal: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.
