Windows 86

Hi,
I am turning into an old fart, using Hollywood for hobby projects so I am not an expert at anything. I have found I don't really need Windows for much anymore and started using Linux which has its pros and cons, mostly pros. But I can't use the APK compiler on it so I keep Windows 10 around for it. I keep it disconnected from the internet because it's no longer supported. I don't intend to get Windows 11 for several reasons. I was wondering if there are any plans to make the compiler available for Linux and/or other platforms. When I see the output in the dos window it seems a very complicated piece of software, on the other hand Android is based on Linux and Android Studio runs on Linux too. I also miss the editor in the Windows IDE quite a bit.
Anyway, these are my thoughts and just thought I'd ask.
