do you use an iPhone OP?

Its easier on linux
>open terminal
>[package manager] install [program]

>dragging and dropping

Too hard. What was apple thinking?

Needs to only be a button overlaid on the program which says "Install".

You have to download an aplication.
Wait for an application to load.
Then copy it to a folder?
Damn that's hard.

I wish MacOS installed applications as easily as Debian.
>download .deb
>it opens in gdebi
>click button called "install"

Pressing one button is easier than dragging an icon to a different place. Oh well, maybe Apple will learn from the best one day.

Linux is the kernel

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.

Are you suggesting that using an installation wizard is too hard?

It certainly is an improvement.

But emulators have had this for years already.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

No because uninstalling is a fucking nightmare because there is ZERO transperency or assistance with where which files go

t. mbp user

Lmao or you can do this .

sudo Pacman -S [program you want]

or

yay -S [program you want] (for community repo)

Luckily brainlets like you can't install arch

Aren't appimage files basically the same as this?

That's so time consuming.

MacOS, the only OS where the user is actually in control

wtf?

apt install package

Couldn't be an easier, user.

Sure but then again I like to be able to choose where to install it and customize what is installed with it.

I damn better have to type my password to install a program that could potentially modify many files across my computer.

>install a repository
You lost me here. I've never done this.

>remember the sequence of commands
Lol.

As hard as remembering where an icon is place on a desktop.

>remember the package name
Hahaha, wtf, you don't even know what you want to install?

apt search package idiot!

>troubleshoot the myriad compatibility problems
I've never done this.

>easy
It's true.

Or you could install brew + cask.

There may exist a Tap or one could rubyscript it oneself
but I would rather use docker.

Checks out

MacOS has that too, user. It has a Mac version of bsdports called MacPorts, and another package manager that operates, imo, most closely to apt+PPA on Ubuntu called Homebrew. You can install stuff from the terminal or from the file manager. You have all the choice of GNU+Linux IF you can tolerate 3 things. 1) you cannot run a headless MacOS which really hobbles an otherwise very capable OS from being a server OS as well as a desktop OS. (You can use it as a server, but not without losing significant resources to the DE), which brings me to 2) you're locked to one DE. The upside is that there are tons of tools to add features like tiling, alt+click move/resize, etc and the native virtual desktop system is great. And 3) a lot of the system is non-free. I'm sure for a lot of you that's a real issue, but for the majority of computer users (over 95%) it's not even on their radar. That number comes from macOS and Windows combined, as both are majority proprietary software and the two largest market shareholders among desktop computer users

Better than the windows way.
