System.DllNotFoundException on Linux (NixOS)

[Zaid-Ajaj]

Similar to Add support for Linux ARM64#17, there seems to be missing native dependencies of WebkitGTK on some linux distributions which leads to the System.DllNotFoundException error. @srid has reported this similar issue on the template repository I created for F#

What could users do about this?

• Show a message telling them to install the native dependencies?
• Option to package the dependencies with the assemblies for these unsupported distributions?

According to the docs, they mention how these dependencies are always available but there seem to be some exceptions to that. Maybe adding a section of specific platform support would be greatly appreciated

• The Windows code uses the Chromium-based Edge control in webview2
• The Linux code uses the WebKit-based browser control in WebKitGTK+2.
• The Mac code uses the WebKit-based browser control in WKWebView.

Because these controls are always included on Windows and Mac and are usually included in Desktop Linux builds, there is no need to download or install the controls along with the application, making Photino applications lean and performant.
