Yeah, that.

That's what needs to happen. On the Linux side for example, we do
not address packaging-specific behaviors of Devrim's builds, or Debian's
builds, or Red Hat's builds --- all of which act differently, in ways
that are sadly a lot more critical to novices than seasoned users.
If EDB isn't adequately filling in the documentation for the behavior
of their packaging, that's on them.
