My experience was different. I tried the installation on Ubuntu (accepting all default value) and it was up and running without issues. I didn't test fully and just wanted to get to the first screen.

On nostr:npub10qdp2fc9ta6vraczxrcs8prqnv69fru2k6s2dj48gqjcylulmtjsg9arpj I created an account and then when I finally got around to follow account, I couldn't. No error message or anything. I reached out to developr and was told to go to another client and follow accounts then come back which I thought was very strange but will try that next.
