From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm curious, what's wrong with the web version? I have a feeling that were GUI application written, it would use Electron or Tauri - aka a waste of resources to use an entirely new browser instance instead of a tab.
I'm just expressing my dislike of electron and tauri, but honestly curious about your reasons :) Everyone's allowed to have their preference
Well, that's exactly why people like me and OP want normal, like, built with GTK/QT, linux client. It's more lightweight and more integrated to system.
