What os/arch are you using? We currently provide a desktop app only for macOS on ARM64 architecture.

Same problem for Ubuntu 22.04, the documentation says goose supports Linux too.
I think you have to write in clear in documentation, that desktop client is only for macOS, I spent more than an hour trying to figure out how I can run the desktop app.
Finally, I started using cli version.

+1 on this, wasted time because it seems to say it support Linux.

A banner at the top of the page is insufficient as it is nowhere near the download link that people use. It is common practice to label the supported environments right next to the download link itself.

Please change the download link/button to "download goose (macOS)" or similar to save everyone the time from trying to troubleshoot this themselves.
