That is not true, check this one of most popular post on Support Board:
I am always amazed that there are so many people ignore this simple fact: Sierra Chart runs in Linux flawlessly.

I didn't say that SC doesn't run in Linux. What I meant by support is that SC as a company does not give you official support if you are a Linux user. Sometimes they might answer user questions they see, but no official support and guarantee. It is mainly supported only by users.

Btw. I've been using SC on Debian Linux for years and it works pretty well there. The only thing it doesn't do very well is tick data downloads, which are significantly slower on Linux than on Windows. I see the origin of the problem in the Wine layer, which does not like certain high frequency kernel calls. I think this could be solved with a better implementation of the download process, but I'm not sure without seeing the source code.
