Release notes: ⚠️ Important Desktop releases now require glibc 2.34, ie. Debian bookworm or Ubuntu 22.04. Support for Debian bullseye and Ubuntu earlier than 22.04 has been dropped since Debian bullseye's LTS support period has now ended. If you are running a version of these OSes for which support has been dropped (or another distribution using glibc earlier than 2.34) you will need to upgrade your OS to continue using Element Desktop.

### What the installer does
- Delivered as a ZIP archive for Apple silicon and Intel.
- Installs the app `Element.app` into the Applications folder.
- Requires macOS 13 or later.
- The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.
- A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 11 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.
