- Add Linux support while maintaining macOS and Windows compatibility - Use platform-specific icon configuration - Restore arch configuration for proper builds
Resolve conflicts in forge.config.ts: - Add Linux support to ZIP maker while maintaining macOS and Windows compatibility - Keep RPM maker from upstream for comprehensive Linux package support - Use platform-specific icon configuration (PNG for Linux, ICO for others) - Preserve arch configuration for proper builds This ensures comprehensive Linux build support while maintaining compatibility with existing macOS and Windows build processes.
