WeChat Linux clients

This cluster covers desktop clients and utilities that run WeChat on Linux, either by wrapping the web client, fixing login issues, or launching the official client via XWayland, plus one integration of Enterprise WeChat with a coding tool. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are tied at 0 stars, with wechat-xwayland listed first among them.
