Cross-platform apps - The Linux experience:
Yes & no is my take. Usually no Linux support means a free software app is born to replace it which is awesome--or better, a previously-obscure or deserves-revitalization free software application gets its moment in the sun (rather than reinventing shit that already works cough Matrix). …The downside is when employers/client/etc. demand you use some proprietary sludge so luckily you have Electron app to get over that hurdle--tho 90% of apps in this category largely should be fine in PWA form instead of needing Electron.
