The Material Skin is excellent, can be made to "look and feel" just like
a native Linux app easily enough. I use it on my ChromeBox and on my
iPhone most every day to control any/all of my squeezelite endpoints. I
don't really see a need for a native app, at all. YMMV.

The O2 Joggler is X86 running Linux.
