Good for them, I guess. But has been working on Firefox since quite some time now

Do you use any Electron apps?

Cool, but who uses chromium? Normal people use Firefox.

[-] exu@feditown.com 5 points 8 months ago

This should also affect Electron apps

Chromium, even on Linux has huge marketshare. I can't find data breakdowns but it should be fairly obvious

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
