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.
