Description

Same as #5, shouldn't be too hard to get this running (in fact I've heard someone already managed to), with the main obstacle being window transparency. I'm not aware of any good cross-distro solutions here, so the best bet is probably going to be disabling transparency 🥲

Research direction
The issue suggests disabling window transparency to enable Linux compatibility. Look for the window configuration code, possibly in main.rs or a separate window setup module. Search for any transparency related settings (e.g., set always on top or set skip taskbar) that may be platform specific. Consider adding a conditional compilation flag for Linux to disable transparency. Check the repository's existing build scripts and any related issues or PRs for guidance.
