Test Environments:

Test Distro’s Development Environment Notes
Arch This App was developed on Arch Linux. I also tested it with shellinabox cross platform hosting.
Slackware Tested on Salix ( legacy repo linux platform compatible )
Alpine OpenRC, Docker, BusyBox. Fastest install and setup process
Ubuntu Trisquel, Tahrpup, and Mint. Average performance.
Debian Jq/gcc performed the best on Debian resulting in fast query processing
WSL All the GNU works, but other than testing, I did dot build it for WLS
