Electron and apps built with it are missing from most ARM64 Linux distributions.
Once you've built Electron (or downloaded their binaries), many of the builds fail because they download something that requires x86_64, and then you get to troubleshoot that.
Flathub doesn't have aarch64 builds of most of these apps either, so I'm assuming it is not just me having issues.
So much for cross platform. It is doable for the open source apps if you want to get your hands dirty though.
It did motivate me to look for non-Electron replacements (to Electron apps, not Slack and Spotify specifically), so I've got that going for me.

Apple released Rosetta 2 for Linux. It's for running x86_64 binaries inside of a arm64 VMs. I've heard rumours people have it running on Graviton instances and other arm64 devices..I'm guessing it would work with Asahi, although it might be against some ToS.
