Since Scratux went and borked on me, I'm going to try and compile it and update my old DEB file as well as possibly producing a PKGBUILD for the Arch User Repository. That said, I can't make sense of the GitHub and it seems to mainly only care about trying to run it via the Node.js interpreter. I'm currently running Garuda Linux, so preferably I'd like instructions that can be done under Arch Linux. That said, I have a laptop running Ubuntu so I can if need be. I'll check how to make DEBs and PKGBUILDs myself. Any instructions?

Since it's an Electron app, you should be able to run npm start, although this can be cumbersome since you have to run it every time. I believe if you run npm run dist it'll build a package for you.

Please, do not use scratux. it is an outdated security risk last time I checked, and you should use Turbowarp desktop instead as it gets updated. another plus is that it is much faster than scratux and normal scratch

Hey, electron apps are too slow for me. What do you suggest?

Yeah, I have been using TurboWarp Desktop for a while now and I prefer it over Scratch Desktop. It also has instalation instructions for Linux on the download page.

Agreed. Since Scratux is outdated, it's nearly impossible to use the newer, updated npm package managers with it and so you may as well use something up-to-date and better that won't make compatibility issues. I'm not a pro coder but it would make total sense.
