I realize your skepticism to my original answer, but I am 100% earnest about our intentions regarding Linux. It isn't a secondary concern for us, and we know how important it is for engineers.
Most of the developers on our team are avid Linux users.
My previous job was writing eBPF security drivers and device drivers, and I have used Linux for years.
Linux is very near and dear to our hearts, and when I say it's on our roadmap, I mean it.
Totally understand your frustration. We started with macOS, then delivered Windows in around 3 months (just launched) and will tackle Linux next but granted that it is a ton of work given our deep integration into operating systems and we want to get it right.
I guess we'll stick with gnu-screen and tmux for the time being.
