The doc about core.fsmonitor says:

"The built-in file system monitor is currently available only on a limited set of supported platforms. Currently, this includes Windows and MacOS."

You can still configure a hook instead of the built-in system monitor to get a similar feature on Linux. For example the githooks doc has a "fsmonitor-watchman" section to use https://facebook.github.io/watchman/ which works on Linux using inotify.

Best, Christian.
