Yes, you can use Swift Data on Linux. Swift is officially supported on Apple platforms, Linux, and Windows. Additionally, Apple has introduced a fully static Linux SDK for Swift, which allows you to cross-compile from macOS to Linux. This means you can develop your Swift applications on macOS and deploy them on a Linux server without needing an additional runtime to be installed.

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
