I know I'm probably beating a dead horse at this point, but I am once again begging Jagex to support Linux for their Jagex Launcher.
Most likely you've done the calculation that the userbase is too small, and the dev resources required to engineer and maintain/support it on linux is not worth it. I would like to point out however that the Linux gaming community is growing rapidly - Steam's proton is a great example of this; and it's enabling many people to give Linux a try.
Windows 10 is no longer going to be supported as of October 2025 - and I know that many gamers including myself are reconsidering their relationship with Windows, and looking to move to Linux too.
This is make or break for many players. There are some third party community driven alternatives, but honestly, it's not a great experience.
Please reconsider your decision. It's devtime, which is ultimately money, but I think that the Linux community is growing, and for me at least, the one thing holding me back is my Jagex account. This may payoff in the future, especially if you want this game to have the longevity you're hoping it does.
