Hi @huskylogic,
There is a Linux version, but it has problems just like the Windows version, and documentations is worse.
If you go to https://localwp.com/ and click on ‘Download for free’ you can choose between a Debian/Ubuntu or Red Hat/Fedora version. Unfortunately it dies for me on Linux Mint Cinnamon because it tries to write to the hosts file, which is set to read-only (for good reason!) and I am waiting for a solution from the Local devs so at the moment it is a non-starter for me.
Cheers,
Terry
