Yup, came here to say this. After reading the article, it became abundantly clear that the author doesn’t support Linux and most of the article is just a summary of the common Tauri talking points that are out of date. To add data to this - Tauri is looking to allow embedding chromium as an option because the creator of Tauri acknowledged that it doesn’t work well on Linux. To the point where if Linux is a serious target, they don’t recommend Tauri: https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/issues/1064#issuecomment-2094904381 https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/issues/1064#issuecomment-2...
The upstream projects aren’t in a place to support this yet so this feature didn’t make it into Tauri v2. I’ve been tracking this for a long time and hope that they will make it possible in v3.
- Arrowmaster 10mo agoThanks for the link. That's great info to know but it's only part of the problem. If they think changing out the renderer will fix everything then they haven't learned anything. Their build action creates seriously flawed AppImages for Linux for multiple reasons that have nothing to do with the renderer but with the AppImage creation process.
- hysan 10mo agoGood to know. Every time I gave Tauri a shot, issues with the state of WebKit on Linux was always my first hard wall. I never got to even trying to make a production executable. Sounds like it’ll be a long time before this ever becomes viable for fully cross platform use cases.
- auraham 10mo agoWonder if Wails have the same issue on Linux.
- niutech 10mo agoTauri also targets the lightweight Servo engine, so you don't need to budle a bloated CEF.
