How is it that the open source Cursor 'alternative' doesn't have a linux option (either via AppImage, as Cursor offers, or something like a flatpak). I understand that open source does not automatically mean linux, but it is like, weird right?


just looked and it does https://github.com/voideditor/binaries/releases

AppImage, .deb, .tar.gz


Aw sweet, I only checked their website download page and missed that. Thank you!


No, not really. It's not really your place to dictate what someone enjoys working on.


That's a bit aggressive. Who hurt you?


It was not my intention to be aggressive, and I'm still not sure how my comment came across that way. Nevertheless, I apologize.

I have indeed felt at times slighted for developing open-source on Windows and been told that I'm “weird” for not embracing Linux wholeheartedly. Experiences in the open-source world suggest that I'm not the only one. Perhaps that answers your question.
