* Option feature, you decide.
1 If you compile it yourself, it appears it should work on Windows.
2 Flatpak uses shared dependencies. When you have installed multiple Flatpak apps, it is likely the 1.1GB runtime space is shared across all of them.
3 You can use the Fab.com browser panel to see Fab Other and Fab Quixel assets. Not integrated with your normal assets.
4 The feature exists, but it is broken currently on Linux -- unknown, if it will be worked around.
5 It is missing some information, but it does have the majority of the information usable inside the UI when you click the asset.
