Open Source means Free Testing and Free code writing,  we all benefit.   You can write GUI pgadmin4 installer for  Linux

We welcome  CONSTRUCTIVE criticism  throwing up a link,  or snarky youtube video then  saying "see I'm right",  will not get traction with people it turns them off.  Remember we are doing this for FREE

Specifically how does EDB page support your position???

Enterprise DB maintains the windows installer as a give back to the Community and promote Postgresql..   Postgresql installers have come a long way over the years,  I remember a time when everything on Linux was  compile then install what a horrible amount of pain, Just getting the CD to boot  to install Linux could  take  days because of hardware issues.   

When writing criticism first step,  Document the issue, and be specific,  take screen shots, note the issue clearly then post it..  

Postgresql has several ways to note and document issues,  Mailing Lists, Wiki, IRC, create a Blog Post and post it on Planet.postgresql.org

99% of linux installers are done from the command line, and yes it goes horribly wrong at times.

Zahid,

Please contribute, your view is important. Quoting a commercial enterprise and how they choose to spend their development resource is a moot point.

Best Regards,

By support you mean I should do free tests and let you know where the problem  are.

Anyway alot of talk but fail to address the issue , why a company  "EnterpriseDB"  has provided installer.  The fact I have not received  to my original  query means you are all using the free  installer or managed to install it with sheer luck.

You don't have to contribute and, likewise, you shouldn't expect support
... because, as you have indicated, it is free.
