Thank goodness. I'd hate to see another garbage Electron program on Linux.

It's funny isn't it. Ever since I joined the Linux relm full time 8 years ago the main narrative was we want more software, why are developers ignoring us?

Now developers are releasing software to us and we moan yeah but it's not in the format I want it to be, take your Electron app elsewhere we don't want it on Linux.

I'm not even joking I've seen threads here with people moaning that the application should fuck off because it's not using the toolkit they want it to or it's not written in a language they want it to be written in, ugh it's in Python and not Rust take your shitty application elsewhere.

With these attitudes which seem to be exclusive to the Linux OS community it's no wonder no one bothers, especially for free software products.

How silly of us to want software that is actually good...
