From their FAQ: “Do you have a desktop version? A desktop version is actively in the works, and already in internal testing phases.”
It looks like you can download the pre-built applications for all of them though, including Linux. You probably just need to use chmod to let your system know it’s allowed to execute it.
…why wouldn’t it be the “real one” on their website?
I meant the website.
…no, they update themselves? Have you just never used anything other than Linux? It’s hard to imagine how you would not know this unless you hadn’t.
No they don’t… They tell you if there’s an update and then you have to do it.
Other than the pop-ups telling you you need to update every 5 minutes?
Mine doesn’t. I’m on Garuda. It just has an icon on the task bar.
Yes, I am aware. I did not argue that is isn’t for testing. I said you didn’t need to compile it for Mac or Windows, because it’s not expected of you to have a CS degree to install it.

WTF is chmod? Execute what? How can you not see that this is a problem?
It is a problem. The fact Windows will just execute anything is an issue. That’s right. On Linux you need to tell your system to execute a file. That’s what chmod is for. (I think you may be able to do this with a right-click. I’m not sure. You just need to tell your system that a file is an executable and it’s allowed to do so.)
I think you misunderstood. It will anything whether it should or not. Also, other processes can execute a thing even if it shouldn’t. It can be made to execute a payload that shouldn’t be run.

Well now you’re just blatantly lying. Windows doesn’t execute anything without you asking it to. The difference is that it works when you do.
