I don't think this works on most distros. Even if it does, isn't this only installing Radarr to a temporary shell? Either way, CLI should never be required to install software. Not if the intent is consumer software. You do appear to make the argument that it's not consumer software, which is fair. It's just different from a lot of other claims about it being consumer software. So you can forgive people for thinking it's meant for regular people. We should definitely make that clearer.
Nix package manager can be installed on (almost) any distro, I'm running it in an android termux right now for example. Side note if you want a fun project for an old phone you could probably run radarr this way, I'm using it for Garage s3 storage.
Without diving into the juicy details too much, the command does temporarily install it - in a way that its essentially free to reinstall anytime. For permanent setups you just have to add it to a text file, that could use a bit of a face life to be honest. Though comparitevly this would be trivial to implement vs the meat of the package manager itself
