Will it work on Linux?

Yes, it installs on your Linux

A ready-made Linux download is in the latest release.

Supported devices from the README: Hardware Notes

sd.cpp runs on CPU (all platforms) and Metal GPU on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4); CUDA/Vulkan/ROCm on Linux/Windows.
Metal GPU acceleration is built into the macOS desktop binary — significantly faster than CPU-only.
Recommended for sd.cpp Z-Image: 16 GB RAM (7.4 GB weights + 2.4 GB compute buffer). On a base 8 GB M-series Mac, Z-Image is known to hang the system — stick to SD 1.5 there.
For SD 1.5 on M2: expect ~1–2 s/step with the Metal dylib active. If you see ~10 s/step instead, the binary may have fallen back to CPU — see verification below.
