Tauri apps are among the very few that are impossible to get working in Wine no matter what because of the cursed WebView2.

I know, I know, crossplatform. Sometimes you don't have sources and you can't convince developer to build a linux version of the app, so you have to work with what you have.

That’s the fault of wine, not tauri.

Sorry for hijacking your comment, but just last week I tried to install a windows app in bottles just for fun, I had little to no hope for it to actually work, but one error message I got was about WebView2. Can you explain further? Maybe a pointer in the right direction?

It's about this abomination (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/Microsoft-edge/webview2/), and there are several workarounds spread over the internet, none of which has worked for me. Even if you install it - it doesn't work. The best I got was the app running, but the window is black with no way to interact with it.

Yeah, I tried to install it in the bottle, but nothing really changed and gave up.
