Description

For some reason, the Linux self contained black binary is double the size of MacOS + Windows. This seems weird.

  1. Lets try workout why / root cause
  2. If possible, try clean it up / reduce the size

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the root cause of the larger binary size on Linux compared to macOS and Windows. Examine the build configuration and dependencies. Propose methods to reduce the size, such as stripping symbols, excluding unused dependencies, or optimizing the build settings.
