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?

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.
