Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The list of benefits over the PyInstaller package isn't extensive, but
IMO it's more than enough to be the "recommended choice".

### Notes about the Linux build:

- The Linux app is built and distributed in a portable-executable format (similar to [AppImages](https://appimage.org/)).
- The Linux app is built and distributed using two distinct portable-executable formats: [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) and [PyInstaller](https://pyinstaller.org/).
- There are no major differences between the two formats, but if you're looking for a recommendation, use the AppImage.
- The Linux app should work out of the box on any modern distribution (as long as it has `glibc>=2.31` and a working display server).
- Every feature of the app is expected to work on Linux just as well as it does on Windows. If you find something that's broken, please [open a new issue](https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/issues/new).
- The size of the Linux app is significantly larger than the Windows app due to the inclusion of the `gtk3` library (and its dependencies), which is required for proper system tray/notifications support.
