Why doesn't Windows have a proper package manager yet?
Lincucks can't even change the location of the package installing and the only way to install a package after space runs out is to repartition the drive.

your kind of niggers should stay out of Jow Forums
on Linux you can install whatever you want howere you like wherever you want
besides, I installed skyrim just fine once just to have a POC
most mainstream distros have firefox preinstalled
What do you install to run out of space? Linux doesn't bundle a shitload of dependencies with every program so not everything takes 100mb or more

Skyrim is quite old by now, its probably close to the Winezone, where windows stops supporting the thing correctly and Wine picks up the job.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Without "modorganiser" Skyrim is useless. And MO doesn't work on Linux.
It probably will get supported at some point, probably at the same point windows 10 will drop support to it.

Unlikely, it uses some wizardry in operation.

When and how.
Also yeah you can, dont fucking lie.
Then tell me how I can set up apt or pacman to install packages into another directory than the standard /usr/..., for instance, my home directory.
You can't.

It's almost like when your storage is full, you need to make space. Weird. Wonder if it works that way on Windows and Mac, too.
Can you customize the install path with this?
Windows on one SSD, Linux on the other. Problem solved.

Yeah, just change the relevant env variable, check the readme on Github
It's Windows, you can't have an actual, full blown, package manager. If you can settle for this, fine, otherwise, just move to a different OS. There was an attempt with Chocolatey but it just doesn't work with all the mess of packages distributed online. Windows was not designed with a centralized package installation system in mind and you can't really fix that
>wanting a package manager
hell no. I am still on windows because it doesn't rely on this kind of shit.

You can’t fit more water in a full glass
Linux is a kernel.
kys freetard
>open the executable
Yes, why are you confused?
Are you?
There are binaries on linux.
You're missing the point here.
GNU/Linux*
yeah yeah
>windows binaries are shit!
>let me just download this firefox binary on linux
What are you even trying to say?
Did you even read the posts related, retard?
Yes I did and your argument is shit.
You can't complain about Windows binaries and then recommend downloading a Firefox binary as a solution to a problem with Linux.
You don’t have to. I don’t see why additional functionality is a problem
download homepage with curl and read the source
>You don’t have to
See why had to do it in the first place.
>Yes I did
>can't complain about Windows binaries
You obviously didn't. Show me where I complained about windows binaries. You clearly don't even know what's being argued about.
That’s an exaggerated experience and is obvious to anyone who has used linux.
You don’t need to add sources manually unless they’re untrusted. Firefox is always in the main repos so that point is moot.
If it installs an out of date version, which is unusual, software updaters come with most distros and it simply asks if you want to update this.
That post is also redundant when it says
>add the source with the version you want
>...it’s ancient
>add a different source
Is totally unnecessary if you actually added the source for the version wanted.
>rolling release

You have no idea how a fixed release distro works, phoneposter.

Thanks for giving proper confirmation of what was already suspected: That most winfags here attacking linux gets their arguments only from what they hear on Jow Forums and without checking the validity or testing by themselves.
What is described in is obviously a satire that you guys believed as a true and that now you guys used as an argument ridiculing yourselves in the process. The thing is that on linux you have both ways to install programs: with package managers and the way is done on windows. You're not limited to one and yet on windows you don't have a proper package manager yet.
Your mom is garbage
>grasping at straws
How so? Unmodded Skyrim is shit.
>Wrong
Glad to hear that. Though OP on Reddit definitely didn't get a smooth experience.
> What is mount
> What is lvm
You cannot even choose much of the time where the package in Windows. At least in Linux you can grow your root partition disk space at runtime using lvm. Typical wincuck thinks you need to reformat to grow. It is only Windows that you have no choice but to do just that.
Also, I forgot to say that MO itself doesn't mean things like Calentine's outfit studio and stuff relying on Java is going to work properly.
>linux you have both ways to install programs: with package managers and the way is done on windows
You have package managers on Windows.
>How so? Unmodded Skyrim is shit.
It's well known that skyrim works fine on wine and then you changed the goalposts when still managing to be wrong.
>Glad to hear that. Though OP on Reddit definitely didn't get a smooth experience.
Moving goalposts again. If you want to see more games supported on linux natively more people is needed to use linux instead on shitting on the platform for no reason or benefit. Meanwhile lutris makes extremely easy most of the tasks described so you only need to worry for the mod manager.
>more people is needed to use linux
Not them but why the fuck would anyone choose a worse gaming experience just because of some vague idea that clearly isn't even playing out in reality?
>meanwhile linux has no cortana
Inb4: who needs cortana on linux?
Who needs package manager on windows?
>no tabs in the file explorer.
no tabs on ls either. Are you bitging about not having windows """distro""" that comes with preinstalled total commander?
>then you changed the goalposts
My very first post was about MO. How is that changing the goalposts?
>Moving goalposts again
If you are ok with how things work, great for you, user. I have a setup I use with Skyrim. It does not work on Wine. What do you propose I do?
>more people is needed to use linux instead on shitting on the platform for no reason or benefit
Which I do. How is pointing that my particular need is not fulfilled "shitting on a platform"?
>lutris
Never heard of it.
tabs in next update
I know, each time someone disproves your argument you'll just change the goalpost untilthere's something it doesn't work on linux and then you'll just say: See, i won, wine is thrash. Even if 90% of everything you wanted to work works fine despite being conscious is software created for a different platform that's running though a compatibility layer created by reverse engineering. Do what you want, no one is trying to make you change to linux but the thing is that your original argument and even the following ones was wrong. I'm not gonna search if the outfit studio thing works or not because it's a waste of time, check by yourself but believe me that false flagging based on what you've heard is not a healthy thing to do.
>why the fuck would anyone choose a worse gaming experience
>worse gaming experience
Because gaming is the only reason to choose an operative system? right?
>just because of some vague idea that clearly isn't even playing out in reality?
elaborate, you're most probably just parroting again what you hear in this place again.
