Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate, I searched pages upon pages of issues but couldn't find an existing issue.

I am a Linux user who wishes to develop a layout using Keyman. Unfortunately, running the Windows app using Wine results in an unusable app. On every start, the app complains about a broken Unicode character map database, then it either shows a black, blank window or displays a window in which nothing can be clicked except the menu bar.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Native Linux compatibility for the Developer app.
