Dear Open Source software developer,

First of all, let me assure you that I truly appreciate your work. Releasing software under a free license is a gift to us all. It shows that you care about the widespread adoption of your project, and that's quite commendable. However, I have a humble request – please, *pretty please*, don't release it with the statement, "compiling it is so complex and full of dependencies that the way to use my program is 'docker compose up'."

By doing this, you're limiting access to your software for those who can't use Docker or those who can't/won't use Linux. It's almost like telling someone to click on 'Install.exe.' Surely, you can do better than that.

I trust you'll consider my request. Thanks again for your hard work!
