Make the brain linux-compatible1
After the experience of the past 5 years people are moving away from large corporations; they no longer trust them. The drive towards independence and personal control is leading to Increasing numbers of people choosing linux. By releasing a linux version you will grow your business and contribute to greater levels of freedom & autonomy.

I use Ubuntu for work and both Arch and Mint at home. I use Obsidian for now, but would be willing to give the Brain a try if Linux compatibility ever becomes an option.
In application land, porting is much easier these days for almost all languages, and containers are the norm if control and compatibility are concerns.
My guess is that you started in Windows and coupled tightly with some of their non portable libraries out of convenience.
In the future, keep algorithms in a standard language and create an API, then a lightweight wrapper can be used to interface with the OS-specific Graphical libraries.
A bonus from this type of architecture is that it simultaneously allows one to have a command line interface for power users and those who prefer scripts for templates and automation.

Had used extensively in the past, and researched the best mind mapping software when I was ready to create a new "second brain", and wound up back here.
Then I read about Windows 11. I'm not going to pay for spyware. Have looked into getting Windows LTSC, but don't want to commit to Windows anymore unless I know there's a Linux build in the works with the ability to completly migrate a Windows 10 Brain to Linux.
I'm willing to give up the convenience of a Windows Brain for
the security and privacy of a slighty less functional Linux mind map. -

I would think that Linux would be a given these days, at least there is an alternative way to still use the brain.

MicroShaft (tool of the Spooks and Deep state) and Sadly Apple (former privacy advocate) are not to be trusted. Same with amazon, drop box. I will not be moving to Win-11 I only moved from Win-7 to 10 when forced. Then have WIndoz-10 to an forced update while you are using the machine is F-ing BS. Only made worse then items working before the 'security' update don't. Please return to offering a Linux version. Debian is a VERY solid version. Thanks

I'm a Linux Fedora Plasma user - a Linux version of TheBrain would be highly useful & more practical to me and potentially several, many others.
