steady stump Oct 28, 2025, 3:43 AM

#

i have no idea whay that wouldn t be checked by default or why the site doesnt just give me the url so i can just usea terminal to install. guess i'll email them to see if they can update that

#

everything ive installed so far has been command line, but this thing was being dumb

limpid egret Oct 28, 2025, 3:44 AM

#

yep they should make a friggin deb package and or have such deb package included in the Ubuntu or Debain repos
