Why would you say that?

Let me let you in on a little secret. One of the reasons this stuff isn't trivial for just anybody to download and apply is that they don't want 1000 random people on the internet doing that, because they still need to have this code reviewed by experts before getting hundreds of bug reports from people on code they are going to change anyway. The people who are going to be helpful to this process know how to do it, everyone who doesn't is just noise that would cause them more work and slow things down.

Making it difficult to install is a feature, not a bug.

I understand this point of view and the reason behind it, but it could be avoided by refusing any filing of issues by external (to dev) people on those alpha or unofficial releases.
Then the noise disappears while we can still take advantage of or get used to these changes. And it would still be limited to people who actively look to apply specific patches.

Have you tried running s-tui with sudo? For me it only shows CPU power usage when running elevated.

Great, thanks, that works! (For package and core #0.)
