I think that, in this case, it's a lack of knowledge about how to
install Python-based software in a Linux system, which is not the
responsibility of the developers, the lack of understanding error
messages, and the lack of desire to learn how to fix things that go
wrong with a simple Web search.

I spent 35 years in IT as a self-taught system and network
administrator using Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.  Web searches saved my
bacon many a time...and they still do. <G>

Side note: I have used CHIRP under all three above-mentioned operating
systems without issue.
