Comment on Is it worth supporting Linux on my product?

Comments

Just make it work on the browser, you'll get Linux almost for free.

Edit: for example, I absolutely hate the idea of downloading some closed source Zoom binary to run from my local user. I have seen the atrocities that closed-source Linux things do to your machine, and I will avoid it as much as possible. I will not consider running your binary if there's an open source or browser-based alternative. Whenever I needed to use Zoom, I did it from the browser (once I learned their extremely evil anti-pattern that leads me to the browser app version).
