Hi,

We support only CentOS for Linux, so that's probably the issue.

So I gotta ask, why only CentOS?

Good question. Not to worry, you can use alien to convert for Ubunto. Several articles out there on how. Here's one: https://forum.substance3d.com/index.php?topic=12851.0

I'm running SP on Mint with no issues.

Sadly it's not entirely by choice that we just support centOS for the launcher. We have encountered several technical issues when we tried to support other linux distribution
At some point we had to make the difficult decision to just improve the quality on CentOS, Windows and Mac and leave behind, for some time, the other OS
As you may experience there are still some small bugs/issues on the launcher and our top priority is to resolve most of them

In a nutshell, because RedHat/CentOS is what most the other commercial 3D applications support, and consequently that is what most of the Linux based studio use. See e.g. the system requirement pages for tools from Autodesk (Maya, Flame, ...), the Foundry (Modo, Nuke, ...), Pixar (RenderMan), ... :
