I appreciate it! Glad it's working for you.

I'll be happy the day there's an official distribution and I can put the repo to rest

Flatpack packages everything under one distributable, but doesn't solve the quirkiness of all the different frontends, backend, compositors, etc.

- titlebar

- tray icon w/light and dark mode support

- global keyboard shortcut

- redraw events after resizing

Those are a subset of the many items that don't play well between various distros.

Like Ubuntu Gnome w/X11 vs Pop!OS COSMIC w/Wayland or any of the tiling window managers like hyprland.

Hey All,

Wanted to try Wispr Flow but they don't have a linux distro yet. I already run aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian (not just debian...), so I ran the same playbook here to create an auto-updating release pipeline.

I've only tested on Nobara (Fedora) KDE. Mind testing on your various setups?

If you run into issues on other backends/compositors/etc, feel free to file an issue, PR, or just drop a note here.

Yeah, I don't want want to take away from anyone. The COSMIC team is doing amazing and hard work. I started dev on claude-desktop-debian with Pop!OS COSMIC as my daily. We're just in a weird spot for that particular issue right now. In 3 years, it'll be something else. That's the nature of fragmentation.

While GNOME tray lovers and haters both exist, only one of those two groups is liable to submit an issue against my repo looking for help getting icons working correctly.
