Linux SDK/IDE Support?

Question
-
I was going to get started with my Azure Sphere but I see now that I need VS and Win10. How do I get started developing on a Linux machine? Is it correct that there is no Linux developer support? If so, I think you have made a huge prioritization error.

Dear friend,
According to the latest announcement by Microsoft, Linux IDE will be supported in next release.
We will release an Azure Sphere SDK preview for Linux. In this preview release, it is supported on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS only; your mileage may vary on other distributions.
We will release a preview of our Visual Studio Code extension for Azure Sphere, for both Windows and Linux.Please refer to this post for more details:
Plan for changes coming to the Azure Sphere SDK in next release

NICE ! but
The IDE is the smallest problem...
https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_packer.py#L71
For "full" unix-like I am ready at 98%
1% is asxipfs root and folder size
https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_packer.py#L79
1% problem is SIGN image - the last 64 bits from image package
I use python for packer but python not have library for PFX.SIGN_HASH
PRIVATE_KEY( 'Exp23.ImageMetadata.app_test_sign.pfx' ).SIGN( SHA256( meta_data[] ) )
https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_meta.py#L128
You ( Microsoft ) can help ( if you want, but I know you don't want )
I need app_test_sign.pfx private key in PEM format
( -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- )
Regards
