Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently running the musl version of void linux which aside from speed, is also light on system resources. The problem is that I can't run this app on void since it doesn't have a package in the repo, as well, the AppImage doesn't run because it doesn't support anything other than glibc. If support could be added it would really make things easier, this is a great app which I really want to see more people using. Anyways, thanks for the work you've done on the project, and the time you've taken to read this. :)

Describe the solution you'd like

Support for the musl version of void linux, or adding musl support to the AppImage.
