Anything in the works to support both PC and LINUX systems using Multiplicity 3.x?

This. I want this very badly. I paid 30 bucks only to switch operating systems . . . cross platform support would be AMAZING

Let me add a +1 to this thread.

Windows 10 is a dismal operating system on many levels, so I am starting to dance with Linux as an alternative for browsing & email.  Sure would be nice to have Linux compatibility with Multiplicity.  I think MSFT's Win10 strategy may be the catalyst which finally drives Linux on to the mainstream desktop.  Vendors like Stardock jumping in will help that along.

I'm interested in seeing Multiplicity on Linux, too!

I would also add my voice to supporting a Linux port of Multiplicity. Many folks run Linux based servers and NAS(s).  It doesn't make sense to purchase this software if you still have to have a separate kb/mouse on your desk.

just adding a +1 on this one. most of the alternatives have this, for the same price.

as i work with windows and linux, this is a critical missing feature for me (from my stand, i don't care about Macs)

Another +1 from me. I would really appreciate the ability to add Linux based systems (RPi/Android) to my KVM network.

Another + 1!

My 30-days trial for Fences expired today. I was not very pleased with Fences' limitations, but I got a discount and decided to buy it anyway. During the check out process I was offered the option to upgrade to Starock's Object Desktop bundle, which includes Multiplicity KM. The only additional software I would have been interested in the Object Desktop bundle (besides Fences) would have been Multiplicity. However, upon finding that Multiplicity only works with Windows and not Linux, I decided to just buy Fences alone. Would Multiplicity had worked with Linux, I would have bought the Object Desktop bundle.

Really need linux support

I gave up waiting on Multiplicity.  I switched to 'Synergy' instead.  It isn't as smooth or as good as Multiplicity....but I can now access my Linux machines.  A classic tech decision - do I choose additional features over stability/reliability.  I want both, and I wish Stardock would deliver.

@emichael, I use Synergy, too.  I will until they break it...again...or until Multiplicity is working on Linux.  Once Multiplicity is an option, I will drop Synergy in a heartbeat!

I'm in the same boat, would drop this synergy PoS in a heartbeat if multiplicity were launched for linux. Alas, I require the features and synergy seems to be the only game in town right now.

Come on guys - reason we have this seamless/kvm is to switch machines...and not just windows machines.

The guy who just runs a windows box or two would most probably not even think of using a software kvm.

Make Linux /mac part of the family please. I asked the question back in 2013 already.
