I build and ship a production application using tauri and linux support is the most painful experience I had in a long time.
They use WebKit GTK which is really not a good fondation IMO, its hard to test for all versions, its much slower than other browser, it has weird bugs.
In general the idea of not shipping a browser bundle is nice, in practice it doesn't really work for a startup. It's just too much unrelated testing and debugging work you need to do to support old outdated systems.
We were very excited to use tauri since we are a rust shop, but we are strongly considering moving to electron unless we get a way to bundle a renderer.
