Absolutely no! SPEdit fully utilizes WPF for big parts of the code. A port to Linux via Mono, would require to rewrite every WPF-dependent aspect of the program to Windows.Forms .
But thats impossible because various core parts of the program (TextEditor, EditorDock, Windowbase, etc.)
are written for and only WPF.
It's possible to host them in Windows.Forms yes, but that does not make it more compatible.
A port to any other System than windows, would be equally to a rewrite of the program.

I'am fully aware that a big part of the AlliedModders community is running Linux or other os.
But i cannot do anything for cross-compatibility and since the mono community don't want to port WPF (which is quite reasonable) no port of SPEdit will ever exist.
It's simply not possible with SPEdit. Sorry.
