Source: https://github.com/privatenumber/ts-runtime-comparison

Proposed solution

Replace ts-node with tsx (this will fix #3609)

Alternatives considered

Add support to tsx

Additional information

Close #3609 if ts-node is replaced with tsx

tsx can replace rechoir (missing ESM support https://github.com/electron/forge/issues/3671#issuecomment-2365167266) and ts-node dependencies. tsx handles the preparation and running of ESM/TypeScript modules out of the box (manual setup preparations, like rechoir.prepare, are no longer needed). So files in ESM/TypeScript format can directly import or require.
