Devlog 28:

Based on feedback from my first ship, I have decided to introduce Linux support. I thought it would be easy, but it turned out to be a little harder than I thought. The first thing I had to do was rewrite some of the Path code that saves the users download directory. This is because Linux and Windows have different file systems, and I had to account for both. Then came the hard part, Packaging.
For ARM, I decided to do this on my Raspberry Pi, where I downloaded the project files from git, downloaded the OS specific FFMPEG and Deno, then repackaged the app as a .tar.gz. I decided to do it this way because this is sort of simply an experimental release.
For x64 I decided to use GitHub Actions, which allowed me to download the dependencies and compile without having to spin up a new Virtual Machine. I also decided to keep this as a .tar.gz.
Later, once I get more feedback about the Linux versions, I am planning to release a more universal app package (.flatpak).
I also had to change the update checkers, because each OS version has to check its own corresponding file.

In the end this was a very unique experience and I learned a lot of things about packaging apps on Linux.
