The project file is looking for the python-config (or python3-config)
executable on Linux/Mac. That is not typically in the virtualenv. It's
searching for an executable specified in $PYTHON_CONFIG, otherwise
python-config somewhere in the path, and finally, python3-config,
somewhere in the path.

Desktop mode *can* use a browser on any platform. It really just
determines how the app will behave (mostly by removing the need for
user accounts and un-sandboxing file access if enabled). If you can
build the Qt runtime on Ubuntu, you should also be able to run pgAdmin
in it. We don't have any Ubuntu packages for this yet, though you can
install the EDB PostgreSQL 9.6 installers which include pgAdmin 4.
