No, not that I know of sorry. I suspect this is impossible as the ping monitoring relies on Windows Kernel Event Tracing to capture packets that the Steam process sends. I suspect the Linux steam client sends packets directly from the Linux steam process, thereby preventing packets from being intercepted whether or not Wine supports Windows Event Tracing.

However, it should be possible to make a native Linux app with equivalent functionality. You'd have to switch to .NET core and overhaul the code used to intercept udp packets, but it would be possible.

Thanks for the quick reply! That's tragic, your apps been a staple but linux seems to have better performance. I'm in way over my head as is but I appreciate the response!
