Linux suport

[athulchandroth]

Description

Add Linux support to the meeting-minutes application, with a focus on Flatpak distribution. The application is built using Tauri (Rust) framework, making cross-platform support feasible.

Current Status (from team response)

• UI and backend already developed in cross-platform framework (Tauri)
• Main challenge identified: audio capture on Linux
• Community members interested in contributing to Linux port
• Flatpak distribution preferred

Technical Foundation

• Built with Tauri (Rust) - already cross-platform compatible
• Core functionality exists, needs Linux-specific implementations
• Focus areas are mic and system audio capture

Acceptance Criteria

1. Audio Capture Support:

   • Microphone input working on major Linux distributions
   • System audio recording capability
   • Proper audio device detection and selection

2. Distribution:

   • Flatpak package available
   • Installation instructions for major Linux distributions
   • Dependencies properly handled through package manager

3. Feature Parity:

   • All existing features working identically to Mac version
   • Cross-platform compatibility maintained
   • Linux-specific error handling

Implementation Focus

1. Primary Task:

   • Implement Linux audio capture functionality
   • Both microphone and system audio support

2. Secondary Tasks:

   • Package application for Flatpak
   • Test on major Linux distributions
   • Create Linux-specific documentation

Community Involvement

• Community members have offered to help with planning and porting
• Focus on Flatpak packaging
• Opportunity for collaborative development

Priority

Medium - Has community interest and technical foundation ready

Notes

• Core application already uses cross-platform framework
• Main technical challenge is audio capture
• Community support available for implementation
• Flatpak distribution preferred for better Linux integration
