Anthropic claims 8-fold productivity increase since 2025. If even that isn't enough to enable support for Linux, I don't know what it is.

I didn't say that they _couldn't_, but it clearly isn't a priority for them. They still have the same opportunity cost any other engineering team faces.
They can work on feature X or feature Y -- which is the better choice?
Apparently they don't think Linux support is significant. I doubt the lack of support is due to technical constraints.
Maybe now you 'generic' Linux guys understand how exactly f*ed up all of our different distributions are. Windows and Mac are pretty easy to write compatible software for and pretty easy to say "your crap's too old, get a newer version". With Linux there is always going some slobbering neckbeard having a hissy fit on a forum about how their byzantine compiled from ancient sources version of Slackware doesn't work.
With Linux you do get the freedom to do what you want, but it also comes with the freedom of doing it yourself.
