Wow, I didn't see this coming. I always had this problem in Linux to the point I am going to ditch Linux for windows the moment wsl2 becomes stable. But this app is literally awesome. I wish Gnome foundation would stop acting stupid as hell and start funding projet like this and make it official Gnome project.

Thank you so much.

I think the problem is that funding probably comes from Redhat and/or FSF. One of those is interested in business uses and the other doesn't have a lot of money.

I'm starting to think everyone who can write code should try to contribute what effort they can to an open source project. I'm starting to see how a lot of small individual contributions add up over time. A project still needs a good maintainer and vision though, and that's a lot of work for someone.
