What's Next for Discourse: Live AMA with Sam & Hawk

As a self-hoster, I noticed Jeff Wong mentioned that compiling the launcher into a binary executable is a long-term goal, but that the first priority is improving the launcher script itself. Could you share a bit more about what the vision is for the launcher in the long run - for example, whether you’re aiming for a simpler, more portable setup experience for self-hosters (perhaps moving away from the current Bash-based flow)? - and, for Ubuntu self-hosters like me, would those changes mainly improve portability, or also bring UX and reliability gains for existing Linux users?

As i’m always in the UK not the USA, i might be around for the first hour…
