For anyone considering Electron: take a look at Tauri. It’s another way to build cross-platform apps with web tech. It will use the OS‘s web rendering engine instead of shipping Chromium which results in much smaller binaries and faster startup times and less RAM usage. You can also write native code in Rust. It’s like Electron but good.

Bad for Linux at the moment...

That being said, it won't improve just by saying it's bad for Linux, if you work as a maintainer in a distro, or know a lot about Linux and rust to help their development then please reach out!!!

The sooner tauri is usable everywhere the more people will prefer it

I didn't try out a Tauri app on linux yet, I just know that it's generally supported. What doesn't work (well) as of now?
