Also maXbox runs on Linux with a lot of scripts and also python for delphi. we need Wine to run the scripting engine on debian linux. maXbox is a script tool engine, compiler and source lib all in one exe to design and code your scripts in a shellbook! Pure Code for Object Scripting. Principle is simplicity and reduce to the max. The App is “out of the box” (self containment) and needs no installation nor registration.

Release Notes maXbox 4.7.5.90 October 2021 mX47

Unfortantley you cannot run Delphi in Linux. But there is an amazing alternative. It is called Lazarus! It will run on Linux, Mac or Windows. Get it at https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I am actually surprised Lazarus isn't one of the most popular desktop development tools. If you find it useful and you are capable you should also contibute to the project. It has come a long ways in the past 10 years and with it I don't think you will need to even consider running Delphi on Linux. Lazarus with FreePascal is sufficient!

You can't use Delphi itself in Linux directly, as the Delphi IDE and compilers are all Windows-only executables. So, to run Delphi on a Linux system, you would have to run it inside of a Windows-based virtual machine running on Linux.

However, Delphi 10.2 Tokyo and later include a compiler that can create executables that run natively on Linux.
