On Linux (Debian based), if you head into problems, try installing the following libraries and re-run with cargo.
sh
sudo apt install xorg-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev
If you get an error about something like couldn't link with cc, try installing the following.
sh
sudo apt install gcc gcc-multilib binutils
NOTE: If you are unsure about above mentioned Linux libraries, do it on a dev system or a vm instead of your daily driver.
Imagine you're a mortal who is accustomed to VS Code or some other GUI Text Editor/IDE, and suddenly you have to login to some SSH or fire up a Linux Server Distro with no GUI. You find yourself treading in the territory of immortals where beasts like Vim, Emacs and others reside. You find a friend called Nano, but it doesn't speak your tongue (i.e. key bindings), so you waste your time trying to learn a new way to communicate instead of getting the job done and get the hell out of there. This editor can be your friend that speaks the same-ish tongue and you can take it there with you. It isn't the only one though, there is another one (a better one) called Micro.
