Modify setup_lnx.sh to add Distro Selector #224

Closed KtheVeg closed 1 year ago

KtheVeg commented 2 years ago

Excuse any mistakes I make, I'm still figuring out how Pull requests work and how to use them

Anyway, I used Pop OS, which is based off of Ubuntu. The installer is supposed to install libraries for Ubuntu/Debian, but it didn't detect that it was ubuntu. My edits prompted the user what distro they're using

This is to fix issue #223

I expect to constantly update my code as I keep finding bugs.

KtheVeg commented 2 years ago

Any update on this?

Unfortunately this repo has more or less been abandoned (for the foreseeable future anyway). We're attempting to continue development on a separate repo here if you're interested in trying to push your changes there instead.

I will say that when I initial saw this I was kinda wondering if it would be simpler to just make the distro name an argument. You could print out the options in the Unable to detect distro part, and then they could just rerun the script with their option as an argument. Perhaps that's doesn't really reflect how people actually use the script though (that only works if they're running it from the terminal, rather than say clicking on it via a file explorer or something where they can't provide arguments).
