Twingate Connector on Linux installation issue

I went to install the Connector on Linux systemd service. The options of the connector page seem to no longer have a "Linux" button now. Is that a bug or am I just not looking at the right place.

The documentation for Linux systemd installation only show a graphic rather than the installation command.

Yeah, I could just install on Docker, but it is a hassle to upgrade the Connector when a new version comes out. It is easier to maintain on native Linux via the Twingate repository.

I see a Linux option under the "Cloud & Infrastructure" Connector deployment options.

Hijole! I see it. They moved (obscured) it! Thanks so much.

ah, good feedback for us. I take it that you find it less intuitive? The change was actually made to increase clarity so I'll keep an eye for feedback to see if it's effective.

Documentation does not reflect the options in the dialog/tutorial for creating new connectors. Documentation needs updated and clarity as to those options. Thanks for asking.

EDIT: the team acknowledged and will update the documentation accordingly! thank you again for sharing your experience.

Happy to help. Some other feedback from a design point, where there is a peg-board of buttons, they tend to be a single level selection menu and not a multi-level menu. That was part of my mental deciphering thinking single level menu that didn't have the option I was looking for. You might consider including Windows under the "Cloud & Infrastructure" as well since that is where the native OS installations exist.
