Not defending the closed source mindset of our "big corporate overlords" here, but just because it doesn't run in cases it wasn't initially designed for, does not mean it's deficient. Runs pretty well on Windows and does its job. Although as the go to AddonManager they should have a certain interest in making it easier for the average user to get it to work on all big PC operating systems and samsung fridges.

Have you tried any of the steps mentioned in https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthr...?t=8500&page=2 . Or did you try the python script (also mentioned there), that seems to be a tolerated alternative for now?
