Any news on linux desktop edition making a comeback?


Recommended Posts

Title says it all i think, since you still have the endpoint version, what are the problems?
Is it too much to maintain the GUI? Could you perhaps make the engine plugable and let the community handle a UI?

I'd recommend jumping to ESET Cloud and protect the Linux machines from there with Endpoint Linux

It's recommended but still you need to buy the minimum amount of licenses to have a Business Account.

Linux almost 3% of the global desktop market share - Jan 2022 and Dec 2022 : r/linux.

It explains almost why you rarely find a Home edition for Linux version not only here with ESET , and we find Endpoint one because some linux machines have to be protected at work environments

It is true same goes for home linux , but it's not a priority I bet , but I imagine , once the product as GUI is fully ready in Endpoint , it will be made for Home version , since endpoint version is controlled through ESET Protect

Is it possible to expect such a development? A GUI on basic options would be enough.

Or is it really that costly to maintain a Home Edition even for a small audience?

I don't know bro , it's just my imagination as I don't work for ESET.

I'm sure that if there's a big demand for such paid software from users one day, it will make sense to bring such product on the market.

Since the introduction of v4 has interest realistically declined? Conversely, how is "substantial" interest defined?

So is the trend of the threat to home users of Linux desktop on the wane? 

I understand that the current effort to revive Home Edition is pointless, I'm just wondering.

To make things worse, if you guys were sticking with NOD32, you should know that Fedora 37 is the last compatible version.

I've upgraded to Fedora 38 on April 20th and although the daemon loads just fine, the GUI doesn't. :( 

 

[FranceBB@localhost ~]$ /opt/eset/esets/bin/esets_gui
Gtk-Message: 17:45:28.098: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
