> Oh yea, Fig is also the one that is Mac only but never mentions that fact anywhere on their website. Everything is written to just presume that the reader is on a Mac.

Not that it is not annoying, it is, but that's pretty common with Mac-only software in my experience.

It's even more common with windows-only software.

Every single tool in the console homebrew space, I swear.

The number of things I've had to run under WINE...

Hmm use mac and win heavily, not found that to be the case nearly as much on win10/11.

On the rare occasion it is truly just win, it's usually made clear far more than macos only.
