Linux support

Does Rustcast support Linux with Wayland?

Quoting the message I sent in the discord:

RustCast has gotten a fair few number of stars, and that it has a lot of traction, and a bunch of lovely users. However I recently decided to rethink the decision of adding support for other OSes Officially to rustcast.

Since I can't verify the code / enforce it too well for other OSes, I won't be adding support as of now, and in the foreseeable future. However, there is a "Other OS Support" branch available for those who do decide to take up the challenge, which has the works that @mnem, @Kybe @hayattgd @Fair and @notmega have added.

I apologise to those who have come here for the support for other operating systems, but it is simply not within my capacity to keep managing the PRs and merging them.

So it doesn't support it officially, but you can take a look at https://github.com/rustcast-cross/rustcast-cross which is trying to do that. You'll probably have to add support for it and it will be really buggy, but people have been working on it...

Can i try adding it? I have experience

Sure! But do it in the rustcast-cross repo

Well, I know that it at least worked with wayland at some point, because kybe did some work on that, but there have probably been changes breaking it afterwards
