lack of support macos not supported #1104
Description
I only understood much later that this tool works only on Linux as that was not obvious from its description.
$ thamos config

The reality is that most people using python expect to see tools working on any POSIX system, including MacOS. If you happen not use have/use a mac, you can use BSD as close enough system to test against, as if you get it working on BSD, it will almost for sure work on MacOS.
If there is no desire to make it work on macos, at least Linux should be mentioned as part of the first sentence in product description, if not even the title itself. Also, adding a nice error message at cli would provide a better experience than a delayed tracedump.
