When attempting to download the cursor software from the provided download site while using Chrome OS, the website incorrectly detects the operating system as Mac instead of Linux. As a result, the user is directed to the Mac download page, and there is no apparent option to download the cursor for Linux.
To resolve this issue, the user had to spend a significant amount of time searching through Google to eventually find a way to download the Linux version of the cursor software.
Suggestion:
Instead of relying on OS detection magic that may be inaccurate, it would be more user-friendly to provide a dedicated "Downloads" page that lists all supported operating systems. This way, users can easily find and download the appropriate version of the software for their OS without frustration or confusion.
