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 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)

+1. Linux support would be great. (Using Multiplicity on both, Windows and Linux hosts the same time)

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.
