Petition addressed to: McNeel Inc.
As the ultra long thread in the McNeel Discourse Forum shows, we (the Rhino user base) have a strong need for Rhino running natively on Linux.
Please subschribe to this petition to collect the number of people interest and show McNeel this is a
relevant part in their business strategy.
Reason
Personel data protection becomes more and more important to many of us, as Microsoft steadily increases data collection. Passwords for email acounts are send with Windows 11 and Outlook to the US authorities. Win 10 does already count the key strokes and times on our keyboards.
It's time to stop this by changing to Linux and having Rhino running natively on Linux, as the update to Win 11 cannot be postponed very much longer without risking a lot of attacks on our PC systems.
Please subscribe !!
Thank you so much for your support, André Bauer, Bremen

As someone who's daily driver is a Linux machine and go-to modeler is Rhino, this is very useful. As an educator and consultant who advises students and clients on software and tools based on the behavior of their creators and maintainers, I want to be able to support both Linux developers and McNeel in the same breath, rather than caveat those statements.
