Because windows is more open source than mac os? How many designers use linux? The Mac os screenshots is their target audience of designers and plenty of mac users prefer open source apps
Still, why not support Linux? Half of the work is already done, probably
Penpot works perfectly on Linux, and you can even host it yourself in your own computer if you want. It's web-based and works in both Firefox and Chromium browsers. (I think WebKit ones too, but it's been a little while since I've tried it with Epiphany.)
I use Penpot myself all the time on Linux, but I'm usually using the hosted version so I can collaborate with others without having to maintain a server. I have also run locally in a container using Podman, even with Podman's rootless support.
But to start using it, all anyone needs to do is point their browser of choice to https://design.penpot.app/ and sign in. There is no setup process or installation needed; self-hosting is completely optional.
