What's the market for linux users who want an electron app so they can vibecode in a visual studio fork but wont just build it themselves nor do they want to clone and build someone else's repo

No horse in this race because I don’t want a Claude app, but the median Linux user is increasingly just a normal person who doesn’t want spying telemetry or ads or whatever
The median linux pc user is on Chrome OS from their school :p
I presume they meant if you filter out for Chrome and Android ;)
Not sure, but I would happily take half the pay of any developer at Anthropic to do that role for them if it gets me Claude Desktop on my Linux box, I do not like third party hacks of Windows Electron apps made to work on Linux, always makes me uncomfortable.
