Full support for Linux (not just Ubuntu)

[hujuice]

I am very curious about RapidRaw, but not enough to start an adventure in my Gentoo Linux.
RapidRaw come with deb files only. Dependencies are not listed, there are no instructions, there aren't discussions about installations on different Linux flavours.
I switched from IT to photography. It means that I am busy now, I have other things to do.
I know that I am polemic, but I think that a "download and compile source files" page could help the project.

Hi @hujuice, thanks for the interest!

I totally understand wanting to focus on photography rather than package management. I think you might have missed the full asset list in the releases or the bottom of the Readme, but I have good news - RapidRAW already supports what you are looking for:

1. Universal Linux Support (AppImage): We don't just provide .deb files. If you look at the latest release assets, you will see .AppImage files. Since you are on Gentoo and want to avoid "adventures," this is your best bet. Just download it, chmod +x, and run it. No dependencies or compilation required.
2. Flatpak: We are also available on Flathub, which works on virtually every distro including Gentoo.
3. Building from Source: If you do decide to compile, there are actually instructions in the Getting Started -> Build from Source section of the README. It lists the dependencies (Rust and Node.js) and the build commands.

Give the AppImage a try; it should get you up and running immediately!
