The video says you support Linux for XDE but I don't see[1] a build for it.

For Linux, you have to build it from source. https://github.com/exponentjs/xde#build-from-source It's usually pretty smooth to do so.
I think it would make sense to provide pre-build packages for few popular distros (Ubuntu, CentOS, Arch). There are some tools that make it much easier, i.e. fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm).
We're planning on doing an AppImage for Linux since we're using Electron Builder (https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder). Just haven't had time for it yet!
Great, AppImage is even better!
