Linux Compatibility about simplenote-electron

[askmrsinh]

Hi, any plans of providing rpm packages?

On Linux, Electron uses GTK.

It'll work fine under gnome and kde as long as GTK is installed (which is the already the case for everyone using desktop linux)

I just fired up the app on Ubuntu and it looks and behaves pretty much exactly like on a Mac.

@roundhill gave me access to the Linux build. A few quick notes from playing with it for a few minutes (under Ubuntu 15.10-wily)

• It'd be great if it came bundled with a .desktop file or better yet, distributed as a .deb and/or .rpm
• It was missing an icon (for me to be able to make a .desktop file manually)
• Every time I open it, the dev tools are opened (probably useful during development phase)
• Login screen looks a bit bland

@jkudish all of that applies to every platform, not just Linux. We'll have to take care of packaging the application for each platform. IMO we should track that in a separate issue.

Closing this one since we have the basics working now, and @rodrigoi is working on a packaging system.

@roundhill related to the user above, the user in 2794476-t was also wondering about an rpm package. Is this something we're looking at in the future or not on the radar right now?

I also need RPM because of using Fedora.
