I guess I didn't learn my lesson. One of the most supportive users of imdone-atom wanted to use the stand alone imdone app, but is running xubuntu, so I promised him I'd have it ready by today. It ended up being even easier than building for windows and I got it configured in just a few minutes. If any of you are building electron apps with vuejs, I've got a great plugin for you to look at https://nklayman.github.io/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/ .
