Linux support

[AustinGil]

Hi, Im wondering if you plan to provide support for Linux users?

Im sure there arent so many of us, but hopefully it's not so hard. I would love to see that happen, but also have no expectations.

It's an electron app, so I'm pretty sure it should be simple to package for Linux. I'll try to look when I have some free time.

Oh, wow, it's even easier than I thought. Since the developers are using Quasar Framework it's a simple command to build the Electron app for Linux.

1. Clone the repo
2. From the root of the project, run npm install
3. Build the electron app npx @quasar/cli build -m electron
4. Use electron-packager to create RPM/DEB/FlatPak/Snap packages

Dang! I LOVE Quasar Framework

Can confirm that @InfoSec812's solution above works well enough. Running up through the third step will produce a /dist folder with some options including AppImage. Nice!

After step 3 I get

Cannot open assembly 'build': No such file or directory.
