Just to satisfy my curiosity, I downloaded the citadel_0.1.0_amd64.deb and citadel_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage files.
I installed the .deb file on a Debian 12.4 virtual machine where calibre 7.4 and a library of ~2500 books was installed. The VM has 16GB of RAM, 8 cores and a 64GB HD. The host system has an i9 CPU with 64GB of RAM, a 1TB PCI4 NVME drive. In theory, the VM should be using the performance cores and not the efficiency cores.
Citadel may have started up a trifle faster but not enough for me to notice. I was not that happy with the GUI but then I'm used to calibre's GUI. OTOH, after 15 minutes, my library was corrupted and I ended up reverting to the snapshot of the VM before the install.
I then tried the AppImage version on the restored from snapshot VM. I couldn't see any differences and again, after using Citadel for a while, my library was corrupted. Reverted to the snapshot and will not be trying Citadel again in the next while.
It's entirely possible that my library customizations caused the corruption issue but not something I'm going to spend time trying to figure out.
