Ive been having quite a bit of trouble running this on linux (attempted on both debian-based and arch-based systems). The same error occurs on both as a fatal error occurs when when trying to initialize the ICU number format with v8. I have icu files in both my /usr/lib and /usr/share folders. I am not familiar with v8 so Im not sure if its files im missing or with my systems v8 implementation. Either way I will leave my CLI output below in case it helps.

I'm not very familiar with Linux, and I haven't been able to find much about this error in general, but another user mentioned encountering the "Running without the SUID sandbox!" error, and fixing it via two methods. The first is to run the "nw" executable instead of the "game" one. The second, if you are using a laptop or computer with two GPU's, is to try running the game with your other GPU. Apparently, this user was able to replicate the issue by making their laptop run the game with their discrete GPU instead of the integrated one. If those don't work, it would help to know, have you run other RPG Maker MV games on your Linux? I am seeing the Tyruswoo_FollowerControl plugin popup in that error log, so it's possible the error is being caused by that plugin. If you've played other MV games successfully, I could try uploading a version with that plugin disabled to see if it helps. 

Worst case scenario, you could try running the web version through a browser. This has the downside of your player sprite and face in text boxes not reflecting your chosen appearance due to plugin limitations, but otherwise works as far as I'm aware. If you'd like to try that, you may need to set up your browser with the following link beforehand. https://www.reddit.com/r/RPGMaker/comments/dqvdqo/fix_error_failed_to_load_dataactorsjson/
