Desktop app for Linux?

Is there any way to run the desktop app on Linux? I'd like to be able to check live view from my laptop like I can on my Mac.

    Great question @LyndaN ! Currently we do not have an app out for linux platforms. Luckily, Linux is an open source operating system capable of a great many things. With it being so customizeable, maybe another neighbor using Linux has found an emulator that works with their system already and would be open to sharing their tips with you in this thread. I've not directly spoken with any neighbors who have accomplished this, but would love to hear more if you decide to add it to your Linux system!

      Also very interested in seeing something that will allow people who like to use LInux be able to use a ring app. Fingers crossed.

      Also, can you make the Windows app available outside the Microsoft store? Us linux users can run it in an emulator if we can just get the installer.

      [quote="Marley_Ring, post:2, topic:280"] Luckily, Linux is an open source [/quote] ... meaning it should be relatively easy to create a working Ring interface using POSIX APIs. Ring's behavior as a company is at the opposite end of the development spectrum. *NIX people: don't hold your breath.

          Any chance we can get this sooner rather than later. I'm on Linux Mint and have no problems running most things from Windows as well thanks to Wine. A native install of the Ring app would be better but just getting our hands on a Windows installer would allow us to run on Linux. A web interface would also be acceptable, failing that where is the .exe install ?
