Linux compatibility

[pm64]

If I'm understanding correctly, a smart person could use https://github.com/JinShil/BlazorWebView/tree/main to make this library Linux-compatible. Is this something you'd consider doing?

[jpmikkers]

Very interesting! Will definitely investigate this.

@jpmikkers very interested in this as well. Do you have any initial thoughts on the complexity to accomplish this?

[jpmikkers]

@dcuccia well I'm at the point where I have a linux environment and was able to successfully compile and run the JinShil BlazorWebView demo. Next up: see if it will blend with Avalonia 😄

Nice. :) Perhaps you know this, but if you have a Windows machine, there's always WSL (now with graphics). FWIW, I think this would be great for Raspberry Pi.

any update?

These open avalonia issues are blockers for this:

• Avalonia/issues/10354
• Avalonia/issues/6124

I did manage to update jinshil's project a bit, if anyone is interested in a electron-like solution for blazor on linux. See https://github.com/jpmikkers/BlazorWebViewLinux

Hello @jpmikkers
Cool project, i am trying to implement simething similar and would need the BlazorWebView. Your repo you linked is not available anymore - i got CefGlue on Linux running.
Can you please give me a short update on this maybe share the code for the BlazorWebView? Thanks!

@erythana my updates were merged into the jinshil repository, see link in the first post.
