Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Add Linux support.
Describe the solution you'd like
maxGUI intends to be cross-platform. Linux is an important platform which should be supported.
Additional context
GUIs on Linux have a strange situation. There are a handful of common libraries for buttons, text boxes, etc. These sometimes have weird restrictions like you can't choose a text box's width. Instead, it grows to contain the text inside it. Additionally, many of these sit on top of X11, which is rather limiting. Wayland is a good replacement for X11, but might not be supported by those same libraries. Wayland adoption and support has been slow.
All of this is to say Linux needs some special consideration. Should we targets Wayland first to prioritize modern systems? Should we prioritize the most widely used systems?
