2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Again, how would not providing any Linux app at all be preferable over an Electron app? How would it lead to you having a better Linux app?
Because it's the easy way out. Just like if Valve's Proton ever gets good enough people will entirely stop making native ports. They will just ell you use Proton and you as a user lose in the long run.
Ok, what's your suggestion? Go back to a world before wine when Linux gaming was Tux Racer?
I much prefer solid, well working games with great performance delivered through Proton than no games at all.
The 90s called, they want their native-purism back.
You can downvote all you like. People will always take easier route, just how IE was default browser for decades just because people didn't have to install it and it was already there.
Easier route = electron app.
Yes, that's the easier route.
