   If you download the source code. I believe MobTimer.py will run the timer. I will eventually look into a stand alone download.

   Running MobTimer.py on linux doesn't quite work out for me.
   First I have a problem with pypiwin32 in requirements.txt which I have to remove.
   Then I had to install tkinter via apt.
   Now I get the following error:

   $ python3 MobTimer.py
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "MobTimer.py", line 3, in <module>
       root = MobTimerController()
     File "/home/mob/MobTimer.Python/Frames/MobTimerController.py", line 49, in __init__
       self.iconbitmap(default='time-bomb.ico')
     File "/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2078, in wm_iconbitmap
       return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, '-default', default)
   _tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm iconbitmap window ?bitmap?"
   

   Linux support would be awesome. Would like to use it for this: https://github.com/gregorriegler/remdev-azure

   Hey, unfortunately I do not have time to work on a fix myself but I would be happy to review and accept a pull request. Bitmap errors are probably related to PIL and Pillow (the windows version)

   I think this may help. If you get the PIL library working for Linux then TKinter should work with it. I am not 100% sure though.
