The README only included Ubuntu/Debian instructions for Linux build dependencies and optional tools. Users on Fedora/RHEL-based distros (which are explicitly listed as supported) had no guidance and would encounter errors trying to use apt on those systems. - Add Fedora/RHEL section with dnf equivalents for build dependencies - Add dnf alternatives in the optional dependencies table (yt-dlp, ffmpeg) - Update requirements section to list packages for both distro families Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move whisper-rs "metal" feature to a macOS-only target dependency, since Metal (Apple GPU) is unavailable on Linux/Windows and causes build failures (FOUNDATION_LIBRARY not found) - Add clang/clang-devel as required build dependency for all Linux distros (needed by bindgen for stdbool.h and other C headers) - Fix Fedora dnf5 group install syntax (dnf group install, not groupinstall) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
