QUESTION
Do you have Capture One that can run on Linux?
ANSWER
We continually strive to make Capture One accessible on the newest hardware and operating systems, and we are aware of how important this is for many of our users, however, Capture One software is currently only compatible with macOS and Windows.

i would buy a license for linux immediately
It would be great to have Capture One on Linux desktops
I'm a current user that just stopped using macOS and after using Windows for a little while would be very glad to use a Linux version instead.
I'd love if Capture One was on Linux ! I'd be so much easier
+1 for Linux support
I'd gladly pay for Capture One on Linux. It's one of the few applications preventing me from migrating from the Mac to Linux.
i also would like to see a linux version and i would definitly buy a licens or subscription.
This not super useful.
Is Linux being considered at all? Do you have any plan for it?
This I would like to know.
All the major softwares used in the VFX industry support Linux, because it's the most performant OS.
I'm a Windows user, I have never used Linux but I'd love to establish my workflow on it.
Unfortunately the ONLY software I use that doesn't support Linux is Capture One.
As much as I like Capture One I'm not really sure it would be worth to keep an SSD and an OS only for one software.
I think porting on linux would be a big step, first one and only one pro software for linux audience ...
Hopefully Linux will get supported soon. Since Windows 10 is getting worse and worse.
I'd like to switch to Linux (Ubuntu or Mint).
C1 is the only thing holding me back at the Moment.
I want to use C1 on my Linux too... make it at least somehow work with wine maybe?
Please port to Linux IMMEDIATELY.
Charge more for it!! I'd be happy to pay more for your application.
I have Capture One Pro 20 right now running on Windows 10 and Win 10 sucks.
since adobe didn't enter Linux OS, then capture one can use this opportunity and have a lot of user in linux system. many users on Linux are waiting for a photo editing software and if capture one can develop Linux version, just can win the game in Linux.
Support for Linux! +1
Support for Linux! pleease!
I'm using Mac only because of capture one, support for linux could be great!
Another vote for Linux support. The Apple OS is a Linux variant. How tough could it be? This is the only software I need to go entirely to Linux, like every photographer in the world. C'mon. Take my money.
Please consider a Linux version!
I have to maintain a dual boot system for the sole purpose of Capture1 (and photoshop...)
No problem to pay more for it!
We need a linux version!
Now that Lenovo will be offering ubunto and redhat on their laptops and even helping to push developing much further for more tools, it might be a good decision. And like many said, there is no good Photo Editing tool on Linux right now, so why not be the first and take this chance.
Cheers
I agree with Frank. Dell, Lenovo and others are selling laptops with Linux pre-installed. More are following. It's no longer a niche thing.
All my work is online, Office 365, Gdrive, google suite, cloud management, it's all done with the browser. Games run great on Linux nowadays, and as a developer I would not want anything else anymore.
Well... I'd like Capture One Pro on linux ;-)
You would be outsmarting Adobe, they have not dared to tap into this market, and it has growing potential. And when you are first.... you have the advantage!
Mark,
I would have to assume that Adobe, with their very broad market presence, have looked at the Linux potential and decided that it is unlikely to produce enough business to justify the cost of creating and supporting such a move.
Indeed they probably see far more business potential spending cash and resources on apps for mobile devices.
Wikipedia (yeah, I know. I'll take a shower when I have finished this reply ...) offers the following:
"In the area of desktop and laptop computers, Microsoft Windows is generally above 70% in most markets and at 77% to 87.8% globally, Apple's macOS is at around 9.6% to 13%, Google's Chrome OS is up to 6% (in the US) and other Linux distributions are at around 2%"
Now it is also possible I suppose that 2% of people who take photos make use of RAW convertors and thus, by statistical inference, all RAW shooters must run Linux ... but I tend to feel that might be a long shot.
Hi SFA,
Hehe, yeah that is correct. MS and Mac are still the bigger platforms yes. And I never said Linux was about a large amount of customers. I said it has potential to be so in the future.
And it does! The market is small because lots of software does not run on it! When the software comes, the people will come.
All I'm saying is: that shift is here. It's happening, it's starting with hardware vendors selling laptops/desktops with Linux on their machines.
Besides: 2% of 2 million computers is 400000, if only 10% of those are buying, that's still 40.000 customers. And we are not talking about 2 million computers, the number is way larger. A lot of companies would be happy with such market potential ;-)
Given the obtrusive nature of Windows (now forcing their programs to open with no option to opt-out) and given that some of us are tethering through various means, Windows makes the tethering nearly impossible without going through a constant re-set of the programs.
Though not in a pro level at this moment, and given that Linux has advanced tot he point of working seamlessly with so many other programs, it would be highly advantageous for the CO team to associate to the Linux system.
Would love to see this on linux-- would pay for it! The osx version is already running on a unix-like system...
+1 for Linux!!! if you do this you will be one of the first MAJOR image processors to do so and i guarantee you great success
An image editor that runs on Linux would be enough for me to make the switch. I love Capture One. You could have the Linux market!
Keep asking people, it does help: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/114964/
And to demonstrate the argument many have made here, I’ll now be heading back to 1Password from Bitwarden. I choose my software based on my OS, not my OS based on my software.
i hope too in linux release.
I would love Capture One running on my Kubuntu box.
+1!!!
