Support for Linux?

Open karanrajpal14 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Any chance you'd consider supporting Linux as well? Since it's built on Electron, I'm assuming it's possible. Right?

Hey, sorry for the late reply! Anyway - I actually just installed Linux on my laptop so now I have to work a few things out while getting used to Linux again.

Not sure if you ever ran it yourself from source, but here's what I have to deal with:

  • Transparency seems to not be working on Linux.
  • The packager I was using on Windows also seems to not work for Linux even though it's an option.

I'll mess around with those issues over the next few days. Hopefully I'll be able to figure them out and get an update pushed out with a working package for Linux.

@mitchas Hey this is an innovative web browser and super useful. I would like to use it daily, so please push an update for Linux (Ubuntu) +1 for this awesome project.

Transparency on Linux is definitely possible (I modded my VSCode electron to add transparency on my laptop), I might make a PR in the next few days with the changes necessary.
