Description

Very nice project! Love it! Would be awesome if there is any plan on a Linux version somewhere down the line. Is there any chance for that?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Windows specific dependencies (e.g., WinUI, DirectX, Windows Runtime APIs) and identify cross platform alternatives such as Avalonia, SkiaSharp, or GTK for .NET. Evaluate the current codebase's dependency on Windows shell integration, wallpaper setting APIs, and screensaver functionality. Look at existing Linux desktop environment APIs (e.g., GNOME, KDE) for setting wallpapers. Consider porting to a cross platform .NET UI framework.
