Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Have you guys tried cargo-deb? Amazing!
Okay, just for completeness: Since windows support is experimental (and kind of broken) in cargo-bundle, for windows the best option at the moment seems to be cargo-wix: https://github.com/volks73/cargo-wix

I mean, there's tools that make it easy to make a .deb https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb

I suspect that you've run into an anecdotal pattern, but I'm not sure that it is more than that.

Introducing runst: A dead simple notification daemon written in Rust
As a suggestion if you want to get a lot of users you could make a .deb file that packages the binary and a systemd service file.

Rustup, Cargo, Rustc??
cargo install does provide different options to change the installation dir (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html) but I am uncertain, if there could be accociated issues. An alternative could be tools like https://github.com/mmstick/cargo-deb or https://github.com/iqlusioninc/cargo-rpm that can automatically create packages which can be used for a proper installation /usr/bin/ using your distributions packaging system.
