like a material library addon I use for Blender doesn’t work for linux apparently (sanctus) and makes it so I cant render with any light in the scene so its not just the menu but the materials themselves.
I don’t even know why that wouldn’t work. All my blender addons work just fine on Linux
Dependencies are built into your packaging system (unless you’re using containers). There I’ll be a way to say “what does this need” and “go get it”, but that should have been done during the install of properly-packaged software
I suspect I’m making assumptions about your install, though.
You can try the sanctus demo yourself and see if it works for you on Blender running on Linux. Alt tab easy fog 2 says win/mac and a reviewer had issues running it on linux, i tried another material addon, the materials work but previews in its ui are broken.
I had a few not install, some say that linux isnt supported in reviews and dont work like alt tab easy fog 2, and sanctus are the ones I remember off the top of my head (sanctus menu didn’t work and caused blender to freeze, took me forever to realize it was soemthing I was appending that had a sanctus material causing my crash, didn’t realize til I installed the addon on a fresh install and tried applying it to something getting the same issue)

Wonder if I’m missing a dependency, no idea how to check, seems odd that the material itself wouldn’t work on linux
