alt Hacker News> The main reason must companies don't publish Linux electron apps
But they do? Companies don’t publish anything BUT electron apps. If desktop Linux gets anything from outside of FOSS, it’s electron. See Spotify, discord, slack, vscode… list goes on. I don’t think a for profit company has provided a GTK or qt app for Linux in the last 20 years.
I applaud your efforts but this is a supposed trillion dollar company with a product that probably has thousands of electron apps in its training set. They should be paying you.
Electron apps don’t work well across all of the Linux distributions if you’re doing anything that isn’t very simple.
The comment was that the Electron apps aren’t being released for Linux even when they exist because Linux is so much harder to support, even in Electron.
If they don’t have resources (or desire) to keep the Electron app working on all the Linux distros then they definitely won’t have the resources to write a completely separate GTK app for the few Linux users.
