I'm using Linux as OS for modding.
So I would like to know if there is a PCS2 version for Linux.
Understanding do you me?

 
There's no Linux version of FRED, so you're not going to get far with modding anyway.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

There is a version of PCS2 for Linux, but it's notoriously difficult to compile (iirc, a binary release of PCS2 doesn't exist for Linux).  The Windows version, however, seems to work passably in WINE.

I've got PCS2 running on Mint13 & Centos6 without too many dramas.  See here for some details:

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Fs2_open_on_Linux/Compiling_PCS2

Only issues I've had are

1) it crashed a fair bit with certain POFs (like the mediavps_2014 Artemis), but not all the time
2) I don't see any textures, but I don't know if that's how its really supposed to work or not (not a modeller! :))

there is a whole complicated thing for loading textures IIRC, you might have to configure it manually.
