Which OS should Spice support next?

As mentioned previously, I created a little wallpaper manager to make enjoying wallhaven hosted wallpaper easier on desktop. I am trying to decide which platform or operating system I should support next. So I created the following poll on GitHub:

Spice GitHub Poll

Looking forward to seeing where we go next!!

Start with Linux: it's the technically simplest choice (Fyne is already ready), and meets a real demand from users looking for a modern wallpaper manager. Once the Linux version is stable, move on to macOS (targeting a universal binary first), then consider Windows ARM or other platforms depending on feedback.

I'd say Windows 10.

Hey olivierceylant, thanks for your input. Actually I was purposely avoiding Linux as Variety, which my app is inspired by, already has Linux covered. Do you know it? It has actually more features than Spice and support more image sources. The only wrinkle is that it only supports Linux well. Give it a try, if you haven't so.

As for developing Spice for Linux, I have tried that early on, the main challenge there is there are so many flavors of Linux, more importantly so many desktop env, Gnome, KDE, XFCE etc. Adding additional wrinkle is wayland vs X. Setting the wallpaper gets complicated.
