Brackets is installed to /opt/brackets. The getting started content in /opt/brackets/samples/root/Getting Started is not writable by default.

I'm filing this separately from the similar windows bug #1577 since we do have more control in our Linux packaging to specify where the files are installed to. However, we would need to make changes in Brackets as well to change the assumed relative paths.

Can't brackets just copy samples/ to $HOME/.config/brackets/samples on first run and use that path instead? (ensuring that they are writable of course!). Copying to $HOME should work for windows too, right?

@MattSturgeon That's exactly the idea, yep. It's a little trickier to do on Windows though, hence this being filed as a separate bug for Linux (which we can probably fix faster than the Windows bug).
