Not really. It would increase support time for those that do not have x86_64. That’s why it’ important to give the users a way to find their cpu architecture (and maybe even try automatically determine the correct one as suggested above).
This is covered already in the installation instructions. They are linked in the downloads section:
When I switched to linux a few years ago the terminal was new to me, too. But it’s easy to learn. Especially if you have step by step instructions that are pretty fool safe, like those that the manual provides. I learned it, thousands of others learned it and so can new linux users.
But if they do not want to use the terminal, extracting archive files like .tar.xz can be done by most file managers by simply double clicking the file. Should be similar in windows, no?
Agreed, dae and the community build a great tool. And I’m glad the new leadership continues the great work (well, I dislike their corpo announcements, but the work on e.g. github is really good. Their announcements do a disservice to the actual great work that is being done in my opinion. But that’s off-topic here).
