If platinum-rated, should run fine with latest Proton, and maybe also some environment variables on launch to force using the dedicated GPU. Assuming the kernel and drivers are up-to-date.

Issue tracking support is great. I hope they add web login (maybe through ActivityPub and/or OAuth), and a wiki tab. This would put it on par with Fossil, which is similarly decentralized but has a bespoke version control which makes r
