Note that this feature is more expensive to implement than it might sound, and would incur ongoing costs for the life of LINQPad. It would require creating and maintaining dev/debug and automated test environments on Linux/MacOS, increased deployment & testing complexity with each release, support requests arising on these platforms, and having to deal with bug reports and stack traces from historical versions (there would be no auto-update mechanism without the GUI). It can still be done, but the feature would need to get significant use to justify the initial and ongoing costs.

I also want that, LPRun6 on Linux, UI is not required.
me too
me too, can drop Windows related functions, but able to deploy in Linux.
@JoeAlbahari I see you've engaged in https://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/16961749-linqpad-on-net-core and https://forum.linqpad.net/discussion/1983/roadmap-for-cross-platform-ubuntu-linux but not in this thread. Is any version of lprun functional on Linux? I don't need the GUI; I just want lprun so that I can run .linq scripts through command line. Based on https://www.linqpad.net/PortableDeployment.aspx, it seems like LPRun doesn't look cross-platform yet. Do you have any updated plans for Linux support?
You can vote for that feature here:
