I don't know if it because Kotlin Multiplatform is still somewhat new or something else, however building phoenixd (Kotlin Multiplatform) on Debian required some very specific versions of dependencies, so very few OS distributions will work. 

 yep... this whole thing is quite alpha yet. :(  

 Somewhat unfortunate... perhaps it will improve! More desktop options for Andriod apps would be great. Waydriod could be a good option until then!?
