This is a linking issue (you're missing a specific version of a dynamically linked standard library), and probably best in the issues on the repo, not Hacker News.

#23Looks very swanky. Not sure if I'll replace ranger but this is definitely a contender.

#24"You can go to the latest release and download the binary file. Once it is downloaded please excrate the file after that enter the following in your terminal:" Is excrate some new jargon meaning to take something out of a crate? Or just a boring typo for extract?
It's a perfectly cromulent word. Let's use it more widely, and it will become a real word, like "quiz" or "blog" have become.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's not so much as a screenshot of MC on their official page. Hard to say. Did the author say their product was better?
I think it's fair to ask of any new program why to use it rather than an existing option. And there can be lots of reasons - more active development, new features, less buggy, smaller program (uses less disk/memory, easier to be less buggy), easier to install, easier to use, whatever. And the author of a program doesn't necessarily need to have an answer, especially not early on; programming is sometimes its own rewa…

An operating system from 2018 which is no longer maintained by its vendor? https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tara_cinnamon_whatsnew.php
I think it's somewhat unreasonable to expect software released today will necessarily work on your environment without some legwork.

#28If didn't read the docs, noticed hkjl moved around, and accidentally deleted 3 folders with ctrl+d seeing if I could scroll down faster. Scary defaults if you have Vim muscle memory.

#29gorgeous!! did you build the ui yourself or did you use a package to help? how did that go?

#30Tried it out for a minute and it crashed because I had a broken recursive symlink in my home directory: 1. Create a recursive symlink to itself: `ln -s test test` 2. open superfile and navigate to it. 3. Observe crash

No, fix the issue and open a PR. This is a personal project. They need contributions, not a pile of discouraging issue reports for which they'll never have enough time.
