Error installing meshtui.

I don't use Windows, so I can't really test that. Maybe it will work in WSL?

[ekollof]

dbus-python is no longer a required dependency, so pipx install meshtui should work on native Windows 11. Desktop notifications are Linux/D-Bus only (meshtui[notifications]); they are not supported on Windows.

This is on master and will be on PyPI in the next release. WSL remains a fine option if you also want notifications.
