Description
Hi everyone,
this is not as much an issue, but rather a feedback about this project.
I want to thank the author for this great wizard script, which resolved my issue with the Cursor IDE crashing when I opened a folder project.
I'm running a Debian 11 Bullseye, and I run the Cursor from the .AppImage file downloaded from the official website.
When I tried opening my project folder, the IDE crashed with the errors:
(cursor:131052): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:01:26.820: Could not find the icon 'document-open-recent-symbolic-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
(cursor:131052): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:01:26.822: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/icons/16x16/status/image-missing.png.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

I struggled solving the issue following the recommendations found in various GitHub, Reddit, and Stack Overflow discussions. But neither of the solutions helped to resolve the missing icons issue.
After a while I spotted this project and decided to try running it on my Debian distro, although it is said to support Ubuntu only.
As far as Debian and Ubuntu use the same package manager and most of the packages are the same, I was pretty confident it would work for me as well.
The only thing I had to modify is to add the debian to the cursor_setup.sh OS validation and run the script again.
It ran and completed successfully as well as resolved my original issue. After that, my Cursor IDE started working properly.
Based on my personal experience, I suggest adding Debian distro to the supported systems for this installation wizard.
