Is there anyone on the Antigravity team who is using Linux?

I’ve been using Antigravity on my laptop with Fedora KDE since its release. Before, I followed the official download steps.

Now, if I try the same method, I get the previous version, not version 2.0 or the new IDE.

The Antigravity download page is downloading the files directly, forcing me to install it manually. I think this is bad because before Google IO, I could simply update with dnf. Now, with the separation between version 2.0 and the IDE, the download, installation, and update experience is much worse for Linux. What happened?

I recently tried it on a MacBook to see if it was the same, and it turns out it’s not. On the MacBook, it seems to be done through the UI.

That’s why I ask again: Is there anyone on the Antigravity team who uses Linux? The product is marketed as cross-platform, but it seems that Linux doesn’t receive the same treatment as other platforms.

My guess is that those releases are targeted to package maintainers and people that are comfortable using tars as a distribution format. Yeah, the experience for end-users isn’t great.

From what I remember Fedora doesn’t accept closed-source package contributions so this will definitively not be in the official repo. There are a couple of community maintained packages out there already or maybe you can maintain your own. You can take some inspiration from Antigravity Arch AUR package (View PKGBUILD): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/antigravity

I am on Linux, the installation and updates are so bad, i’m not even bothering to update anymore. Its taking way too much of my time. Installation process is broken. I’m switching to VScodium. .
