    On ArchLinux, many Electron apps use a central installation of Electron that is kept up to date by the package manager. That works pretty well.

    Of course, snap-based distributions like Ubuntu and other systems without a proper package manager like macOS and Windows can’t do it like that.

      That’s pretty cool. I’m wondering how often this leads to compatibility problems.

      Still, nothing comes close to a native UI experience.

        That’s not really well defined on Linux. It feels like every application comes with its own toolkit and its own behavior. Even on Windows, there is a mixture of three different generations of Windows UI systems (Windows XP-style, Windows 8-style, Fluent) that are completely different.
