Verdict: Yes
Yes. Cursor's download page offers Linux builds as .deb and .rpm installer files and as an AppImage, for both ordinary 64-bit PCs and ARM machines.
Cursor ships for Linux at the same version as the Windows build. The download page lists installer files for Ubuntu and Debian systems, files for Fedora and Red Hat systems, and an AppImage, which is a single file you mark as runnable and then open, with nothing to install.
Because Cursor is built on the same foundation as Visual Studio Code, the layout, the keyboard shortcuts and most extensions carry over from your Windows setup. Signing in with your account brings your settings and your subscription with you.
The AI features behave the same on Linux, because that work happens on Cursor's servers rather than on your machine, so an older or slower computer makes no difference to them. What you do need is a steady internet connection, exactly as on Windows.
The editor Cursor is built on. Free, with Linux packages, and the same layout and extensions if you decide to drop the AI features.
Your files: Opens the same project folders and reads the same settings and extensions.
