The expected behavior is the recommended version is offered first (based on detected user agent) and all other version should still be downloadable. As it is, if you are running Linux, you can't download any of the plugins (for windows or macos).

One has to fake a user agent to download a plugin.

@showlet they don't offer a Linux version. you would have to build it yourself. the only one I found and it also appears oxmidi took it down was the build that that I linked to in the previous comment

you can get the Windows version using a VM and it run it in WINE,

but there is no Linux version, unless you build it yourself from the source

windows executable

Thanks i found it on the releases here. The issue is not that it's not linux compatible, it's that the website gives you no choice whatsoever if you have linux. At least make it so the user has a choice to download a .exe even if they are on linux. Of course you have to use wine but it's not convenient having to look around for the executable it because the website said no.
