The change that made it to 6.0 doesn't touch a single bit in Linux builds.
If you have some problem, please file a separate bug report, where describe the
details of the problem, your OS, which package did you try (TDF-provided -
RPM/DEB; distro-provided; self-built...).

Wrt "single installer": most Linux distros have their own builds of
LibreOffice, that aren't identical to TDF builds both in terms of baseline,
dependencies, and build options (integration, extensions, extras etc.). They
are distributed using the distros' package management systems, their install
directories are defined by package maintainers, and application is manageable
by system administrators of those systems using well-integrated tools.

Windows installer used by TDF for LibreOffice distribution uses system-standard
MSI technology, that allows the application to be managed using familiar
interface, and integrate well into platform's technologies like ActiveDirectory
application deployment.

Wasting TDF resources to some monstrous cross-platform installer would not only
be wasteful, but also will create difficulties deploying application in both
end-user and corporate environment, to no benefit at all.
