Sorry but this sort of criticism is so contrived and low-effort

… Sorry but this sort of criticism is so contrived and low-effort. "Oh I tried compiling a language I don't know, using tooling I never use, using an OS I never use (and I hate too btw), and have no experience in any of it, oh and on a brand-new project that's kinda cutting-edge and doing something experimental with an AI/ML model." I could copy-paste your entire thing, replace Windows with Mac, complain about homebrew that I have no idea how to use, developing an iMac app using SwiftUI in some rando editor (probably VSCode or VI), and it would still be the case. It says 0 about the ecosystem, 0 about the OS, 0 about the tools you use, 0 about you as a developer, and dare I say >0 about the usefulness of the comment.

Every time I see these things, they look cool as hell, I get excited, then I try to get them working on my gaming PC (that has the GPU), I spend 1-2h fighting with python and give up. Today's issue is that my python version is 3.12 instead of <3.12,>=3.9. Installing python 3.11 from the official website does nothing, I give up. It's a shame that the amazing work done by people like the OP gets underused because of this mess outside of their control. "Just use docker". Have you tried using docker on windows? There's a reason I never do dev work on windows. I spent most of my career in the JVM and Node, and despite the issues, never had to deal with this level of lack of compatibility.

Python dependency management sucks ass. Installing pytorch with cuda enabled while dealing with issues from the pytorch index having a linux-only version of a package causing shit to fail is endlessly frustrating A good ecosystem has lockfiles by default, python does not.

For development is one thing, the problem is with this being how the LLM app distribution for general use works too.
