Xamarin has stated on several different occasions that they have no plans to support Xamarin Studio on Linux in the short term. The main reasons are:

  • They would have to create a self-contained Mono runtime to go along with the IDE, since different flavors of Linux would ship with different Mono support
  • The cost to support many versions of Linux would outweigh the benefits
  • Lack of commercial demand to pay for support
