Which Linux.

You build it for Ubuntu , people will demand fedora. Build fedora they’ll want Arch.

This is fine for FOSS projects where the community can fork and contribute, but as a company I can imagine tons of support tickets coming from Linux users who’s particularly DE/Distro permutation isn’t working right.

Still. An App Image would be nice

So your argument is "if you give a mouse a cookie"? There are plenty of companies and they just throw us a deb and we do the rest.

And even if it were a valid point, why would eye even waste a second of your life argumenting against Linux when it's being asked to a company with a projected 1 trillion dollars IPO.

What's your stake here?

The top comment large agrees with me. Your support matrix becomes too vast.

However, I do think an app image or I guess a flatpak would be nice.
