> [!WARNING]
> Linux Support - Limited
>
> Linux support is provided on a best-effort basis. Due to a lack of contributors with Linux expertise and the maintainer's limited experience distributing software across the many Linux distributions, you may encounter packaging issues, missing dependencies, or platform-specific bugs. If you're a Linux user and want to help improve support, contributions are very welcome! Please reach out on Discord or open a PR.
