No, as a Linux port of PT does not exists and as far as I know it doesn’t run using a compatibility layer either.

I’m sure PT could be compiled to run on Linux, but honestly, what do you think the demand for that is? Probably not enough in sales to pull the team off of their current workload to satisfy a few Linux sales. I also doubt that having a Linux version would move enough customers away from Microsoft and Apple to make it worth it.

I’m a fan of Linux, but from a business perspective, it really doesn’t make much sense for Avid to invest the time and resources.
