In recent years, more and more people are choosing to abandon Microsoft, instead opting for Linux operating systems.

With the growing concerns for privacy, security, and AI slop being embedded in your home devices, the people have spoken -- we want control over our devices.
Linux offers this completely. You have complete control over your computer. You can install -- and more importantly uninstall -- anything you want. Everything about your system is customizable, meaning Linux runs well (and even better than Windows!) on almost ANYTHING.
Linux is also a fundamental part of handheld gaming systems like the Steam Deck, which offer portable power for creatives everywhere.

With Linux being so good for developers, artists, musicians, editors, gamers and more ... why is CELSYS so easily ignoring it?

As of now, Clip Studio Paint is available on Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS.
The only way to get Clip Studio Paint working on your Linux device is to either use a virtual machine (running Windows inside of your host system), which can be quite demanding on your hardware, or to use a compatibility layer, the most common likely being Bottles (which uses WINE). Neither of these are optimal. You're either stuck STILL using Windows, even in a lesser manner, or spending hours getting it set up using WINE, which can be obnoxious, buggy, and likely to break.

Those of you eagle-eyed techies might have noticed something about those last two officially supported platforms ... Android and ChromeOS are Linux.
Okay, not a hundred percent, but it still stands as important. This isn't the same as a software that's only ever been made for Windows. That would be a crazy jump in development. This software ALREADY WORKS ON LINUX KERNEL SYSTEMS.

We need compatibility. CELSYS has the opportunity to make SO much money. Time and time again have I heard people saying that the only thing keeping them tied down to Windows is Clip Studio Paint, or Linux users saying that they'd love to use it if it were supported, instead opting for some other software. People yearn for, again, privacy, security, performance and control. CELSYS should listen and make this come true. Their software is great! People love it, myself included ... but they will still ignore such an important user niche that will inevitably drive people away.

Please visit this link and submit a request for Clip Studio Paint to be ported to Linux (most likely Debian & Ubuntu) systems! The more of us ask, the more they will care!
And most importantly, PLEASE SHARE THIS PETITION AND ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS TO HELP! Even if you don't use Linux, your voice matters for those who do!
