"I use Linux as my desktop and the rising popularity of electron means that most "cross platform desktop app" links which used to mean "we do windows AND mac!" are actually cross-platform, are usable on Linux and are feature-complete and behave the same as on other platforms." This. Electron makes it economically and technically feasible for companies to deliver the same features and support to Linux users as their other customers. The thing is often not explicitly stated is that many companies using Electron are not desktop software vendors, but SaaS providers. They aren't going to do native desktop applications, because they just want to provide nice clients to users for their particular service.
