No Linux build, not git link, why would anyone care?

Because 96% of people aren't using Linux to browse the web.

That figure is entirely irrelevant when you need to target users who are willing to try a new unknown third party browser in the first place.
And you'll find orders of magnitude more of those among Linux users than you do on Mac, which is where Arc launched on.
