GitHub Desktop

The README explicitly states Linux is not officially supported, relying on community forks like shiftkey/desktop, which can lead to instability, delayed updates, and lack of corporate backing.

Built on Electron, it may have higher memory usage and slower performance compared to native applications, especially on older or resource-constrained systems.

Focuses on common workflows like committing and branching, but may lack support for esoteric Git commands or advanced scenarios such as intricate rebasing or custom hooks, as implied by its simplicity focus.

Setting up the development environment requires following detailed setup.md documentation, which can be daunting for new contributors and may limit community involvement.
