why my linux machine doesn't recognize this font as monospace font?

Fira Code is double-width right now. If you are willing to wait until v6, it should be strict monospace and might improve your situation

You could try to fix this in fontsconfig

Put this to ~/.fonts.conf or ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/fira-code.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <match target="scan">
        <test name="family" compare="eq">
            <string>Fira Code</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="spacing" mode="assign_replace">
            <const>mono</const>
        </edit>
    </match>
</fontconfig>

@tonsky my linux machine is showing it as both normal font and monospace font.
