Linux version has not been released yet. I expect that once all the kinks are worked out with the current node software (on Win on Mac), it will be ported to Linux. Not sure when that will be though.

It seems like it would be much simpler to design and code for linux, and port to the others. Considering it uses docker and all, you'd think it would run fine on linux.

I see references to docker in the wiki. If it's docker, it should run on ANY OS that has a docker runtime. Okay, true, that if the docker images are only x86_64 arch, then QEMU will be necessary to run a docker image on, for example, aarch64 or riscv64, and it would be near impossible to run it on a 32-bit architecture without rebuilding it using a docker compose file. Running in QEMU is just an extra flag on the docker run command, assuming the devs have done their jobs properly.

Of course, this all assume the devs know what they're doing and have done a proper job of creating good docker images. Seeing as how Pi has been in development for more than two years, and there's still no mainnet launch, I feel like that is not a safe assumption.
