We (GitButler) however keep running into packaging issues that make all but a very small handful of linux distros "usable". There are also numerous papercuts that we keep getting due to Tauri being comparably less mature.

We've been making steps towards moving away from Tauri. We now already have the capability to run our rust backend as a web-server and use the frontend in a regular browser. One of the next steps is to package the frontend into an electron app, and run the web-server as a sidecar process.

While there may be size downsides to packaging an entire browser - size isn't really a big issue compared to the program simply not working on a large user demographic.
