Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)

Welcome. Sure, Linux Mint's WebApp Manager or Peppermint OS's Ice are here for you. But jokes aside, sadly, no. Lemmy does not have a native Linux application as of now. But you can make use of the fact that the browser UI is a PWA which can be installed like a regular app as well.

Proper PWA support isn't in v0.17.3 (although mobile browsers will let you add it as an app). However, PWA support was merged into the main branch. I'm not sure which release it will be a part of though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
