Could you build this?
Partial Managing Git patches is trivial, but compiling and maintaining a custom fork of Telegram Desktop (a massive C++/Qt codebase with complex submodules) requires substantial build-system expertise.
What it would actually take: The project relies on a CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) automating `git rebase` / `git am` patch queues onto Telegram's `tdesktop` repository. The primary hurdle is managing the notorious compilation dependencies of Telegram Desktop (custom Qt fork, WebRTC, custom OpenSSL patches, OS-specific toolchains on Windows/macOS/Linux). It demands deep familiarity with C++ CMake builds, submodule orchestration, and resolving upstream merge conflicts in large C++ projects.
