Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum, but a long time Msecure user. I couldn't find any reference to Linux in the Forum discussions, so I'd like to request a Linux version of Msecure desktop. I can't bring myself to install Windows 10 and of course Msecure Desktop doesn't install on XP. But I've been migrating to Linux, and would love to take Msecure 5 with me. Thanks

I just want to add my request for a Linux version of mSecure. I notice the first mention for this is about 6 years ago. Surely coding it for Linux isn't a huge cost to resources after all this time. It is programming after all. I could do it.

I sympathise  with mSecure's position but I eventually let my subscription lapse and have moved to bitwarden which is multi-platform. I'm sure there are nuances and pluses/minuses of the different products but my needs are pretty basic and it works ok for me.

My own 'workaround' to the absence of Linux support from msecure is to use Oracle's Virtualbox,  i.e. to run Windows OS as a guest under my Linux host. That works fine, and in any case I need to have access to Windows to backup my Samsung phone (Samsung also does not provide any linux support ;-),  to run my ancient flatbed scanner (for which there is no linux USB driver), etc.

Perhaps not an elegant solution, but simple to do-- just a few extra mouse clicks needed.

I, too, want a Linux version of mSecure. My mac-mini server died on me, and I have to get a new "working" machine. I use Windows 11 at my job, and even though the OS has been modified and customized for my company, MS still sticks adds for it's products on landscape screens, search bars, etc. Google has decided, now that Every Major OS browser is Chromium-based that now is the time to get rid of Firefox, and released a new, non-open source interface that excludes Firefox. Apple's Mx chipset has a security vulnerability in it's design of the data pre-cache fetch. So I don't want Windows, Chrome, or Apple. I was thinking of getting an Intel running Linux, but then I'd have to give up mSecure. And BitDefender. The reason you aren't seeing droves of Linux users clamoring for mSecure is that Linux is considered a "college student" OS that they'll grow out of. Since there's no revenue stream for manufactures to put Linux as an OS (as opposed to Windoze) you see it used for companies to run their production systems on, and people who can't afford "real" OSes. So the everyday user often is not aware of Linux. There is a secure Linux password safe, but I want mSecure.

How about you guys create a version for Windows that runs in the WSL on Linux and don't tell your Windows customers that's what they're doing.? :-)

 Thank You for requesting the linux version! +1 from me

Hi

My workaround to the problem of no linux support ;-) has been to install Oracle Virtual box to run Windows (as a guest OS) on my  linux host, and simply install/run msecure on the virtual Windows. That works fine (also for msecure wifi syncs, which is what I use to sync my Android phone). Of course this requires a WindowsOS license for when you install Windows as the guest OS...

If this seems a crumby solution, note that it also solves the problem for other hardware that does not  provide Linux support (e.g. my Samsung phone!)

+3 for Linux,  my son, my daughter and myself,  all use Linux as our primary desktop OS.  Thanks

+1 for Linux version.  Thanks!
