Hi Marcell (Mars), I apologize for the delayed response. The packaging of Joplin Desktop is closer to the official approach. On top of that, I have made several additional patches, switching from electron19 to electron22 and modifying the Joplin source code to support IME startup parameters. These modifications have not been thoroughly tested, and I'm unsure if integrating the system's electron alone will work correctly. However, everything appears to be OK in my local usage. I think we can wait until Joplin's official team makes relevant upgrades and changes before considering whether Joplin Desktop can be updated to use the system's electron.
