Anyone has tried to target the Raspberry Pi with their Compose Desktop app? I haven't seen any mention of it here yet.

I'm working on a pet project on the Raspberry Pi, and, if feasable, I would like to try out Compose Desktop at the same time. I have found TotalCross (https://github.com/TotalCross/totalcross) which seems to be another interesting option, but Kotlin doesn't seem to be a first class citizen...

Thanks!

Not yet because I'm still waiting for my micro HDMI cable for the Pi, but I can try and give you a response when it does.

The ARM architecture is the only thing that leaves a slight question mark in my mind, but I don't think it should present any problems.

I went on to test Jetpack Desktop on my Raspberry. Now I don’t have my app exported to a .deb file because it’s still far from being a functional app so I tried to compile it from IntelliJ and after waiting a long long time for a Gradle build the app itself could never successfully compile, so I can’t tell how it works when compiled from IntelliJ.

I’m going to eventually export my little app to a .deb file and will then tell you if it runs but that is going to be two weeks to a month from now because I have other duties to tend to before finishing the app.

Also, JVM stuff, at least PyCharm and IntelliJ Idea seem to run a bit sluggishly on the Pi. The sluggishness in PyCharm was improved by overclocking the Raspberry Pi to 1750Mhz but not fully resolved.
