Just to be clear, I am not removing the option to play the game on Linux. The PC build is playable on both Windows and Linux. However, I've had a Linux build for every version of the game. The Linux builds usually have 2-5% of the amount of downloads PC builds get and since Linux computers can download the PC builds anyways, I was wondering how necessary these Linux builds are. What do you think I should do?

i'm using the linux build, but like you said they're basically the same since the "PC" version comes with the .sh file needed to run the game on linux, so i don't see the problem with just providing the PC build for both windows and linux 🤷

I don't know if anyone uses Linux

Honestly you can probably drop the linux builds. Like it's already been mentioned, the PC builds already contain the .sh files which you run on linux. Besides even without the .sh files most linux users have ways of running .exe or windows programs somehow. It's pretty easy.
