Poor OS integration and missing platform features
7Electron apps don't integrate well with operating systems because they're essentially web browsers displaying local content. When Electron doesn't support specific OS features, apps using it also won't—for example, Discord lacks screen sharing on Wayland and doesn't support file portals on Flatpak.

Linux desktop display protocol fragmentation (X11 vs Wayland)
6Developers must support multiple display protocols—X11 and Wayland—as Linux transitions from X11 to Wayland. Not all distributions have fully adopted Wayland, and XWayland compatibility is inconsistent, causing software to run less smoothly than on X11.
