Encourage owners of third-party installers to begin offering standard edition #14691

Many third-party installers install the extended edition by default. If we discontinue the extended edition without warning, there will be a bit of a mess.

I suggest we get out in front of this. These are the installers I'm aware of. Some of them already have an option for the standard edition, but we need to:

  1. Verify each one
  2. Note the installation instructions
  3. Update our documentation accordingly (show instructions for both standard and extended editions)

macOS:

  • Homebrew
  • MacPorts

Windows:

  • Chocolatey
  • Scoop
  • Winget

BSD:

  • DragonFly BSD
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • OpenBSD

Linux:

  • Snap
  • Homebrew
  • Alpine Linux
  • Arch Linux
  • Debian
  • Exherbo
  • Fedora
  • Gentoo
  • NixOS
  • openSUSE
  • Solus
  • Void Linux

We also need to consider CI/CD providers (e.g., Netlify) where the extended edition is installed by default when not using a build script that curls the exec.

There are also a number of Docker images in use, but I have no idea which ones have the most traction.
