        No, but when I have the choice between a platform-specific software I like and a cross-platform software I don’t, I usually go with the former.

        I’ve used Linux for much longer than Electron even exists, and I’ve learned to live with what I have available.

        Yes & no is my take. Usually no Linux support means a free software app is born to replace it which is awesome–or better, a previously-obscure or deserves-revitalization free software application gets its moment in the sun (rather than reinventing shit that already works cough Matrix). …The downside is when employers/client/etc. demand you use some proprietary sludge so luckily you have Electron app to get over that hurdle–tho 90% of apps in this category largely should be fine in PWA form instead of needing Electron.
