Improved linux support

[b4n6-b4n6]

Hi, please support linux

Running OS Debian 12 does not seem to support the .deb nor the .Appimage

.deb results in error

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found

.App results in errors

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.31' not found
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.31' not found

Try out our Flatpak image: https://flatpak.unstoppableswap.net

It bundles glibc

bro, please bring back normal linux support - I'll pay you like 5 xmr, ok?

I'd like to but we can't. You'll have to install Ubuntu 24.04 or use the flatpak bundle. Sorry.

Is the dependancy in the core tools (swap & asb) or only the GUI?
edit: core tools

[b4n6-b4n6]

Why must you use some strange dependancy that essentially breaks widespread Linux support?

[b4n6-b4n6]

Can I pay you 5 XMR for making a dockerised version of this that has widespread Linux support?

I'm not a freelancer. The asb has a docker image here: https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/core/pkgs/container/asb. For the GUI use flatpak (very similar to docker really).

Yeah I am also confused why Linux support would be removed? Ubuntu sucks

My thoughts exactly - even recommending Ubuntu shows this developer is ill-informed or incompetent

Very sad for me as this is my 2nd favorite project

Please be patient. We know Linux support can be better but we are trying our best :(

We haven't removed Linux support. We are working hard to make it better but there some limitations we have to work around. This is mostly out of our control.

We are not dropping Linux support. We are even working on natively supporting Whonix and Tails (#391)

Respect :)
I've tried both the deb package and appimage on both Debian and Mint and the app just never opens up :(

Has anyone tried building from source on Debian

I haven't but the issue is that even the latest Debian doesn't ship with the latest glibc (I believe).

Does it run ok on Ubuntu? might install a dual boot for now if so.

The flatpak bundle is also usable and likely easier
