Ideas for GUI libraries?
most X11 functionality can be accessed via xgb|xgbutil (jezek has a current fork). nucular makes use of it via shiny. OpenGL and such libraries can be assumed to exist on those systems, so directly calling those c libraries without cgo is a possibility. Ebiten is currently working on it: purego.

Is golang for me?
There are a few pure go gui libraries. I like https://github.com/aarzilli/nucular
-
golang GUI packages
github.com/aarzilli/nucular should be listed!

Is there is good GUI for Golang ?
https://github.com/aarzilli/nucular - pure go for most platforms. no gtk, qt or other dyn linked libraries required. macos and mobile do require cgo iirc.
- Which GUI platform and why?
-
fyne Vs gio
you could try github.com/aarzilli/nucular. For most platforms it is pure go and uses the shiny backend by default. theres also a gio backend. I would try the gio one for android.

Systray is not showing icon.
I am using github.com/getlantern/systray to show menu in the windows tray in my Wails app. It works fine during development and shows icon but in production it throws this error:
-
Toolkit-agnostic system tray in Go (based on getlantern, using DBus for Linux)
thank you. i already saw it and merged it with my local temporary fork. in getlanterns repo is a windows-only PR for left click (WM_LBUTTONUP) - that and middle click (WM_MBUTTONUP) could be added together with the sni versions.

Just gonna give a shout out for https://github.com/getlantern/systray which I use in one of my projects. Tested on Windows and Linux Mint, works great.

Yet another way to convert a website (with backend) to desktop app
I use systray to show web server in Notification Area.
-
CLI for Windows with Go
Of course, already exists that library for using Notification Area. getlantern/systray
