Environment

• Nuxt Version: ^3.13.0
• CLI Version: 3.17.2
• Nitro Version: -

• User Config: default
• Runtime Modules: @nuxtjs/tailwindcss@^6.12.1, @nuxtjs/i18n@^8.5.5, @pinia/nuxt@^0.5.4, @nuxt/content@^3.0.0-alpha.8, @nuxt/image@^1.8.1

Reproduction

Run Nuxt 3 with Content 3 with Bun instead of Node.

If installed with npm install instead of bun install installation will complete and allow the project to start with both npm run dev &bun run dev

Describe the bug

The better-sqlite3 dependency doesnt support Bun as a runtime, and from what I have found there arent any plans to support it since Bun has its own sqlite driver. There is an opened issue on bun's github page but I wanted to report it here aswell.

Additional context

I found this while looking around: https://db0.unjs.io/connectors/sqlite
