Because, WSL is not a proper way to use / run Linux.

But you’re missing out on all the hate! I feel sorry for you. ;)

I see literally no difference between the Windows, Mac, and Linux versions except 2 shortcomings on Linux:

1. Camera support is abysmal and uses the lowest resolution
2. No echo cancellation, so I need headphones.

Both the Windows and Linux ones are wrapped web views.

The main reason for building it dedicated instead of as a browser tab is to easily identify it on my task bar as it’s own thing.

I have to build it from the AUR.

A very unwelcome surprise, too.

Reminds me of the old Gem desktop for DOS.
