I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    Look, I just ran into another example. SimpleX just released a desktop version. Only they only offer a .deb file. Go to search for how to install this on Fedora. I have to install a whole other program just to install this program. How do I install that program? Straight to the CLI with you.

    The Windows version is a .exe so all I had to do is download it and click it and it literally just installs itself.

      Are you sure? I thought the “desktop version” of simplex was currently just a cli program for windows too. Have you tried it? I just checked their site and don’t see anything about a non-cli desktop client still.
