      Let \(\Gamma\) be a countable linear group that admits a faithful primitive action on a set. If \(\Gamma\) is of affine or diagonal type, then this primitive action is uniquely determined (up to isomorphism), [see \textit{T. Gelander} and \textit{Y. Glasner}, Geom. Funct. Anal. 17(2007), No. 5, 1479-1523 (2008; Zbl 1138.20005)]. In the remaining case, \(\Gamma\) is of almost simple type (in the sense of algebraic groups). For this case, the authors construct uncountably many non-isomorphic faithful primitive actions, using a construction from loc. cit.
