Is there an issue with electron apps on BSD?

Why wouldn't there be an issue?

Any electron app will be using a Linux build of the Chromium browser, whether this will run on a BSD variant will depend on how well any Linux emulation layer works, OpenBSD has removed their Linux emulation layer.

Yes, wasn't sure if someone had taken the effort to port over Chromium. Thanks for the info.
