How come these bait threads about Linux problems are always talking about some meme distro like Gentoo or Arch? Is Jow Forums indirectly telling me that Ubuntu just werks now? I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the info
Grayson Wilson
cant remember but it was something from github
Ayden Hughes
That's my experience with Ubuntu. It's one of the only things keeping me from switching to Linux

this happened to me in Ubuntu. my distro hop timeline: >debian >ubuntu >mint >manjaro >back to ubuntu because it's as good as linux gets as a desktop OS and every single one of them including ubuntu are all pieces of shit with shit smartphone lookin ass DEs by default. switch to windows if you value your time and actually want to get work done.
only distro that supports this is Ubuntu ironically.
Off topic, but why is there such a meme about "söy" and why are people afraid of it?

saw your post on the other thread b4 it got killed xD
because söy turns men into söymales by producing pythoestrogens inside you, which turns you gay and makes you grow boobs. the jews say pythoestrogens dont do shit to humans because its plant estrogen, but they are lying yet again. do t ever trust jews
dumbo brainlet didnt bother reading. this exact thing has happened to anyone who tries to install shit thats not in the app store.

No wonder Microjew keeps their monopoly if you represent the average PC user.
It was a real question, I used Ubuntu back in the day and had no problems whatsoever but quit because it was annoying to dual boot for games. Honestly, it sounds like you have way more patience than me if you tried all those distros. I will probably try again once I can't cling to Windows 7 any more. I'm just suspicious that a lot of these stories are from retards considering they complain about stuff like not being able to figure out how to open a .tar.gz file

>dumbo brainlet didnt bother reading. this exact thing has happened to anyone who tries to install shit thats not in the app store. And they can go fuck themself. Nobody cares.

Literally only braindead retards think Linux is hard/worse
What on earth could he be trying to install that's not in a PPA, or in RPM Fusion, or the AUR, or SlackBuilds, or a fucking Portage overlay, or SOME kind of third-party repo? What kind of Github project doesn't list the dependencies? Probably wasn't even written with his distro in mind.
Julian Howard
Oh, one of those threads again.
Anthony Bailey
install something with dependencies you stupid nigger. even then windows is one click which installs the dependencies and the program for you while shitnux you gotta write an essay on the terminal and hope things dont break.
I honestly have no idea. It's so rare to see any software that doesn't already have a package or a PPA or something. What obscure shit are these people trying to install? It's mystifying desu
Kevin Turner
What is AUR What is Snap What is Flatpak What is Appimage Get the fuck off back to wintoddler OS if you need your hands held, you fucking retarded cock slurping manchild.
Alexander Price
darkboi is that better than nigger for you r*dditor?
they are shitty restricted app stores. same as windows store. apple store. google play store. you are fucking dumb
Search for the package, you then just insert the number from the list of results and you're done.
Thomas Roberts
user, package managers tend to have a search function as well.

I'm screen capping this. This is the true weakness of Linux.
Jacob Campbell
idk dude, it's not like package managers, package manager GUIs, or even search engines provide the necessary functionality for helping you find the package you are looking for.

Because all annoying collosal faggot beta males happen to drink s-o-y shit so hence many have accused the substance of causing limp wrist faggotry. Is it a symptom of weakness or the cause.
Jonathan Baker
how was i ecxpected to know this yogurt lookin word, holy shit.
look how you refer to shit outside the app store. that says a lot about you, same sheep mentality as apple users who dont use anything thats not on the app store.

Sure thing you autistic dipshit.
Gavin Ramirez
you sheeple fuck. i clearly said in the OP that the program was not in the package manager. and of course ill try to extract it manually to see if there is an easy installer script inside the folder. way to ignore half the post to make a strawman and reply to it, the only one you are fooling is yourself. freetard.

Speak for yourself bitch. So of us want to see Linux improve.
Hudson Wilson
windows xp is a literal just werks though. win10 you gotta do way too much on a fresh install to debloat it just like you would with ubuntu
Noah Phillips
Simply because this fucktard of a cunt doesn't know how to do anything remotely practical, doesn't mean Linux is bad.
The linux kernel gets updates (improvements in pleb) every week.
The fact that he decided to get a distro that isn't as user fucking friendly for a windows cuck, sure.
Have him install ZorinOS, or LinuxMint, the faggot still won't be able to unpack a single fucking archive, and compile from source.
What a load of fucking scrubs.
Josiah Price
>learning a few words (commands) to better understand something you use daily is to much effort the true power of the human brain
Evan Hill
Hand holding is not improving. OP is of course making shit up, he can't even name the fucking software that he couldn't install in Linux but apoerently he has it installed in his windows system and conviniently forgot its name. Just another FUD thread brought to you by Microsoft.
Colton Barnes
you triggered little bitch, it seems like you only read the title and took a shit on your keyboard. i installed multiple distros as stated here
And on top of that, you can't just type pacman -S libreoffice. They have separate packages for libreoffice-fresh and libreoffice-still (unstable and stable development branches). For the seasoned command-line user who knows how to work with the search option, this is trivial, but to a convert from a more mainstream OS, it's unintuitive and clunky. People used to the old ways will greatly prefer sitting through the 20 second "plz wait for ur download" and potential adware just because they can be sure that they can graphically jewgle the commonly-understood, colloquial name for the product (not a hardcoded, case-sensitive, distro-specific one), and end up getting that program somehow in the end
Evan Anderson
Yeah, most likely a fucking panjeet, sitting in an office, eating and smelling like curry, creating fake posts. Good bait though.
Owen Green
Well I'm not OP but ARChon comes to mind.
Robert Bailey
Archon is dead.
Kayden Adams
Obviously you're a dumb cuck, and can't do anything remotely simple. For example, GOOGLING FOR YOUR FUCKING SOLUTION.
Lame ass cuck boy.
OOH, I need to install visual c++, wait, I gotta restart my PC, because I'm a microjew and I use an operating system based on a micro kernel. Every fucking thing I need to integrate into the kernel requires a reboot, oooh. SO fancy.
You're a silly little man child, most likely a basement dwelling neckbeard, who pretends to have a girlfriend, but actually receives violent sodomy, several times a day, from a bunch of aids infested niggers.
Shut the fuck up, and leave here forever, you stupid piece of human waste.
The fact that your uncle molested your mouth so freaking hard and left you brain damaged, doesn't mean that your opinion is valued here.
Fuck outta here, cuckboy.
Brody Martin
Linux as a desktop OS is a fucking meme. There's a reason less than 3% of computer users run Linux. It's fucking garbage. Only autistic cuntstains actually want to have to deal with manually tweaking dozens of files just to get a relatively decent experience, with about 70% of the shit Windows does out of the box.
Alexander Collins
Also, I mentioned two very specific Linux Distros, that are actually pretty similar to your Microjew Windows. Go run them, filthy pleb.
Lincoln Smith
cringe
Hunter White
Actually yes that's it. This entirely sums up the difference between windows and Linux.
Here we go.
Install BlueStacks for windows and run an Android app
Vs.
Install ARChon for any Linux distro and run an Android app.
Everyone can run BlueStacks...ARChon is a fucking nightmare! >Inb4 'thats one obscure example' bullshit it's all like that
Henry Richardson
Based on your attitude, I've concluded only one thing today.
Hitler was right, and he did nothing wrong.
Bentley Barnes
I like mint. Seems better than Ubuntu Why don't more newbie start with mint.
Juan Hernandez
>There's a reason less than 3% of computer users run Linux. Windows became standard because of good marketing and business strategy. Linux is fine, it just didn't shoot first as an OS for daily desktop use. Windows totally got its ass handed to Linux in the mobile space for the same reason : it didn't shoot first. Desktop is destined to die anyway.
Dylan Gomez
cd ~/Downloads tar -xf program.tar.gz cd program/ ./configure make sudo make install
Archon is a dead project that never even was out for consumer use. It died as a beta too. There are many applications that just won't work with the latest windows too.
Dylan Phillips
>typing an essay vs clicking a script or an exe gui install yeah no thanks
Aiden Ward
Is that what you call an essay?
Colton Sanchez
Also, there are better ways to run Android apps on GNU/Linux too, which is why Archon is deprecated. youtu.be/MbmiHnasGWg

Nice self portrait but if you fuck up writing 'configure' or 'make' you should be banned from using computers.
Bentley Cooper

Matthew Phillips
oh shut up. you KNOW there are files with lots of numbers and additional letters in their filename due to devs being tards with version naming.
Brody Murphy
If you're that dumb you probably clicked the shiny green "DOWNLOAD" button and installed malware instead. I also like how the only concrete example of a project where you need to install from source is a dead beta
