What are the system requirements to run this? Fairly 'standard' Linux system running Chrome here.

"Sorry, there was an error starting the simulation

Sorry, WebGPU is not supported on our device

WiFi Solver may not be compatible with your device."

No Linux support for WebGPU in Chrome yet: https://caniuse.com/webgpu

Dev tools gave me this link: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status#...

Barely any Firefox support either.

Looks like I'll skip this one.

To run on Chromium Linux you need to enable "enable-unsafe-webgpu" as well as "enable-vulkan" flags in "chrome://flags". Best to disable again afterwards.

Doesn't work on Firefox/Windows either.

Because it's an incredibly complex mess that will allow sandbox escape if it isn't implemented exactly right.

Also, it's still in draft status. Not that that means much.
