First of all, thank you for developing this project greatly. avatarify-python works well as a container but being able to run it quickly on Ubuntu 21.04 would be a blast. As you're also on Linux, I'm sure you understand. Have a great day!

I wanted to port it to Linux but I never had time to really get started with it. Code-wise I think the only major issue is that akvirtualcamera is only for Mac/Windows. There is akvcam for Linux, but it's in C so some adapter code would need to be written.

The other problem is that the CMake files are not written to be cross platform, and have a lot of hardcoded Windows stuff in them. Probably not that difficult for someone who's good with CMake to restructure the build files, but I only know the basics of it so I think it would take some time for me, and I find writing those kind of scripts extremely boring.

Unfortunately my current job doesn't leave me a lot of time for hobby programming, but perhaps someone else will step up with a PR or two :)

Thank you very much @JohanAR ! I'm not good enough for this job so I hope it too :)
