When will you have Scratch Desktop for Linux?

Scratch Desktop on Linux is currently not supported. We are working with partners and the open-source community to determine if there is a way we can support Linux in the future. Stay tuned!
(https://scratch.mit.edu/download)

Edit: According to this they are planning to make a Raspberry Pi version of Scratch 3: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/thisandagain/#comments-52560393
but if its available on raspberry pi wouldn't that mean its available for Linux? or is it just Raspian and not the cousins of Debian?

It should be easy to port, though check out https://scratux.org/

``` With some commands and codes we can compile it for Other Linux distros and use that```

Also it might be cut down a bit

If you are on Debian, then simply type in:

sudo apt install scratch

or

sudo apt-get install scratch

Isn't that Scratch 1.4?

According to https://packages.debian.org/buster/scratch it is version 1.4.0.6~dfsg1-6. This is scratch 1.4, but on Raspbian, Scratch 3.0 is available with extra extensions and security vulnerabilities(unless they updated it).

Scratch 3 is already available on Linux as a flatpak. Look in the Flatpak section of the store. Does this help you?

I highly doubt it's made by the Scratch Team or trusted by the community.

It isn't.

Why can't scratch do this? Electron is supported for linux, and even TurboWarp has a linux app

I just suggest you to get Scratux for Linux an unofficial distro of Scratch 3.0 for Linux.

fun fact, there was a vunerability found in scratch < 3.17. Scratux uses 3.10.

Use Turbowarp instead it doesn't have the XSS vulnerability.

yeah, i agree. it's much better too with dark theme and you can do stuff like this:

Oh yeah and the backpack too (it's broken on v0.8.0 tho)

Plus it has additional features via the addons tab.

Otherwise it's the same, so that's what I use

Nobody uses v0.8.0 anymore. GarboMuffin already fixed the bug.

Also I think I should work on a Scratch Desktop for Linux, I already figured out how to make builds.

What they mean:

In all seriousness there are many package managers it will have to be supported on. But a .deb package and a few others plus loose files for other distros works too,

First spark of hope is it being in the Arch User Repository (aur) for Arch. That means it can easily be packages on other distros. I'll read the PKGBUILD later.
