@phnt @silverpill those people are also typically paid, whereas linux maintainers often aren't. if you want instructions to install quinnware on your bizzare ass retro brick from @sun , PRs welcome.

@icedquinn @silverpill @sun That is fine as long as it is actually doable without loosing one's hair. My take in Pleroma if you want install guides for other OSes is also "PRs welcome and as long as you'll maintain it in the future". Mostly because I can't run three different instances on three different OSes and test them out all the time.

@phnt @icedquinn @silverpill @sun how do you say "i refuse to read a dockerfile and then try to translate the package commands or whatever into the OS that I'm wanting to use" and then also talk about the maintenance burden of maintaining these OS guides (not even going into all the issues where you need to debug every user's custom OS and setup quirks. they're the same problem, the lack of dockerfile instructions is the filter. I would 1000% rather inspect and use a dockerfile that is validated to actually work because people use it rather than outdated custom OS install instructions that end up not working because of updates or whatever
