Describe the solution you'd like Rework the client to make it compatible with more platforms (Linux, Windows, ...)

It's on the agenda already.

It requires remaking Swift Bundler, which we're working on slowly but surely.

Swift Bundler currently is being developed for cross-platform, and alpha code is available for sponsors only.

We intend to support iOS, Windows, and Linux in the future, likely in that order.

Hello infrandomness 👋 A while ago I did some research into how much of the Delta Client code needs to change to run it on Linux and or Windows, and I think the results are in a file on my laptop somewhere, I just need to find them back. I found that unsurprisingly, Delta Client would need less changes to run on Linux than Windows so we'll probably aim for Linux support first.

I'm happy to hear that you'd like to help out :) Feel free to open an issue for Linux support and Ill add the main steps that would be necessary (there's no pressure to finish or even start of course). I'm assuming you'd rather work towards Linux support than Windows support from talking to you on the Feather server.
