> Basically every device has a GPU.

Many VMs and remote desktops don't. (Or can't really make use of)

This is an app that connects to your phone and sends messages via the app. I don't think it's that crazy to decide that running on a VM or remote desktop is out of scope.

It doesn't connect to your phone, it just authenticates via the app. I deal with a company where people use thin clients that run WhatsApp on the remote desktop. It's not an unusual case.

Interesting, I apparently skimmed the "Link to your phone" section too quickly (and I guess have a different sense of what that phrase implies than the author of that README, since a "link" that no longer requires the other end to exist anymore doesn't really seem like a link at all).

It is a potentially unsafe app from some random person that can backdoor your computer so it doesn't make sense to run it without a VM.
