Build a Linux version of the Desktop App
I see that the desktop version is based on Nextron, which supports building binaries for Linux. So it would be nice if you also provide them [even though I have checked that the web version just works fine on Linux].
A side note: Also I saw that Dolt itself is built using Go. So if you like Go, you might consider using Wails intead of Electron. I have been using in an application myself, and I liked it.
One of its main features is that "It does not embed a browser, so it delivers a small runtime. Instead, it reuses the native rendering engine for the platform. On Windows, this is the new Microsoft Webview2 library, built on Chromium.".
Also you can easily call Go functions from Typescript ! (without needing a Rest API!) which reduces both code complexity and overhead.
Thanks for the feature request :) I'm currently testing a Linux build configuration and will keep you updated on the progress.
Hi @pdenapo . An experimental ARM64 Linux build is now available in the latest release.
Installation/running instructions:

Let me know how it works for you, thanks!
Hi @liuliu-dev Many thanks! I have tested on Arch Linux (x86_64) and it seems to work just fine! Later I will try on a Debian system and let you know!
@pdenapo Great to hear it works on Arch Linux (x86_64)! Keep me posted on Debian, thank you!
