In addition, considering that there are many desktop systems under the Linux platform, there may be some unexpected situations.
We can provide a command-line controlled installation process by splitting the core installation logic and interface parts.
Great! But someone must be proficient in rust.
Tracked by #265 .
How to specific version and profile to download ? I test my idea:
Use universal id to fill positions, and we can replace them by patcher.
🪦 Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Previously, in order to make the installation package smaller, we chose to use the .NET Framework Winform framework to build the installation package, because the Windows operating system has a built-in low version of the .NET Framework runtime.
Today, we are abandoning the .NET Framework platform and embracing the .NET Core platform. It's time to ditch the old installer and rewrite it using another small, cross-platform UI framework.
🪧 Describe the solution you'd like
First of all, I consider from the aspect of language: We need to use a language that can be compiled to the native code of the platform. From this point of view, we do not consider using languages ​​like CSharp, Java, etc. that rely on virtual machines. I recommend using the Rust language.
Secondly, I consider from the aspect of UI framework: The Rust community has a small cross-platform UI framework such as egui, which may be suitable for developing a simple installation package.
🧾 Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe we can consider other UI frameworks.
I personally still recommend rust with egui.
