Linux client request

Alongside macOS and Windows, the number of users running Linux is steadily increasing. Linux is no longer a niche platform; many players use it daily for workstations, development machines, and high-performance desktops.

At the moment, iGP Manager provides desktop clients for Windows and macOS, but no native Linux client. Running the Windows installer under Wine fails due to installer compatibility issues, and this is not a user configuration problem but a limitation of the current Windows-only setup.

The browser version is also becoming less viable:
3D functionality in browsers is increasingly restricted or unstable
Performance and compatibility vary significantly between browsers
A desktop client provides a far more consistent and reliable experience

For these reasons, a native Linux client (or at least an officially supported portable Linux build) would be highly valuable.
Even a simple Electron, Qt, or cross-platform build would immediately solve this issue and serve a growing part of the community.

Many users are ready to use and support a Linux client if one becomes available.

That would be nice. Even a less demanding installer would already be helping.

The windows app can be made to run under Linux. Unfortunatelly I don't know anymore what I did, as it was several tinkering attempts, basically blindly trying stuff that kinda sound good. In the end I probably installed everything .net, vbasic runtime and related sounding stuff winetricks had on offer into the prefix to finally get through the installer, however at first game ran without loading the UI (just background and music), but after adding it to Steam and using Proton Experimental it worked (well, it did crash eventually, but only during quitting the race viewer after a long 100% @ 1.5x race).
