Who the fuck does that. I used Ubuntu in 2008 and didn't have to type anything to install software, it was all in GUI. What changed?

Most of autistic Linux users prefer compile
How exactly does Linux know where to get the firefox files though? Does it have a list of every software ever and where to download them from?
Pretty much
Isn't that dangerous? Say Firefox' website get compromised and someone places a malicious file at the address

I just made a Raspbian based retropie and it's a buggy piece of shit with config rules all over the place. Ended up spending more time fixing bugs and configuration than playing games. Now I don't feel any regret never tried Linux.
Eh, everyone should try it at least once. The mistake I made was trying it more than once - 2001, 2009 and 2015. Every time, a waste of time - and a reiteration of "you get what you pay for".
everyone on Jow Forums absolutely needs photoshop to live, you can't consider a device that doesn't run photoshop. i live photoshop, i breathe photoshop, i drink photoshop, i eat photoshop. don't you understand freetards, every computer user in the world needs photoshop. install photoshop. muh photoshop
>you get what you pay for
implying you paid for windows
>implying anyone doesn't, thanks to botnet
I just absolutely need working video and sound. I can make do with paint.net.
Please tell me you aren't using all that garbage
Most of the main repositories obviously have a security mechanism. E.g. for ftp.be.debian.org/debian, you need to be a Debian Developer to be able to push to them.
As long as you aren't an accepted Debian Developer, you cannot upload to the Debian archive directly. You have to package your product and to ask for a sponsor on the debian-mentors mailing list. A sponsor is a (generally) seasoned Debian developer who will check your packages and give you hints and support until he thinks they are ready to be accepted into Debian.
You're always able to self host a repository to distribute your package, which means that endusers would have to manually add that repository to say, their sources.lists file for apt, so the package manager can search for packages in it. Adding repositories entails some risk, but generally just requires some common sense.
You wouldn't download Win10.exe from SourceForge, just like you wouldn't blindy add a repository without checking who/what is hosting it.
oh no, user doesn't know you can build your own pc
There's also snap, I prefer it. Asking users to modify sources.list is sometimes too much unless you have some desirable stuff or a regularly used ppa
Good luck trying to build your own laptop.

>everyone on Jow Forums absolutely needs photoshop to live, you can't consider a device that doesn't run photoshop.
I work as Graphic/Web designer. As a minimum I also need Illustrator and some font management tool. Some file-formats-inter-compatible industry-standard, publishing, 2D and 3D animation and video compositing software (C4D, AfterEffects, Premiere) wouldn't hurt either for expanding skillset and scope of projects. As much as I root for GNU+Linux I have Win 8.1 box for the visual work.

>get a second hand laptop
This is what I do.
However I was originally replying to that user that implied you don't pay for windows if you buy one with it preinstalled. Something which you most certainly do.
What I was trying to say is that whenever a valid problem with the current Windows operating system shows up, there's a tsunami "i need muh Photoshop" posts, as if the entire population of this "technology" board requires Photoshop to live. Even when GNU/Linux is not mentioned in the thread. No operating system is perfect.
It's perfectly fine if you actually work with graphics, but pretending that Photoshop being unavailable on GNU/Linux makes it a reason for everyone to avoid the OS is retarded.
I've always considered the "Photoshop argument" to be a stand-in for "any professional-grade software that there's no real substitute for in my workflow". EVERYONE has an application that falls into this category (for me, it's MS Office - and no, LibreOffice is not a substitute).
>EVERYONE has an application that falls into this category (for me, it's MS Office - and no, LibreOffice is not a substitute).
If you're going to pull data out of your ass, I will do the same. My dad does his taxes just fine with Ubuntu and Firefox and LibreOffice, and I'm sure there's a huge percentage of people using computers that would do fine with just this.
>90%+ windows
>90%+ msoffice
>90%+ photoshop
>90%+ vegas
>is "data out of your ass"
And I fell for the bait AGAIN. When will I wake up and understand - you can't argue in good faith with a freetard? Every time you try to explain WHY you - and everyone else - sticks with Windows, they come up with something utterly nonsensical like this as an excuse to dismiss you. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
>90%+ photoshop
>90%+ vegas
kek, still pulling data out of your ass, show me the sauce, boi :^) what does that even mean? do you think 90% of users need MAGIX Vegas?
>sudo apt install Google Chrome
That one isn't exactly true. Google offers repositories for it.
google.com
>inb4 too much work to add it
Software centers like Gnome Software allow you to add it with a single click.
It's not like any of these FOSS alternatives don't have Windows versions either. They can be tried risk-free on Windows. Then they get uninstalled, and people go out and buy Office/Photoshop/whatever.
It's an astounding blind spot on the part of freetards, and one of the reasons they're such a laughing stock.
Ubuntu has a gui frontend that runs the command with more clicky clicky
>It's an astounding blind spot on the part of freetards, and one of the reasons they're such a laughing stock.
Then why are there many anti-Windows threads every day one page 1 made from both macOS and GNU/Linux users? Nobody wins in this retarded never ending OS war leaded by idiots.
HEY BUDDY, YA EVER HEARD OF GIMP??

Probably has a lot to do with Jow Forums being a microcosm. If you think this place is the whole world, or is remotely representative of it, I have a bridge to sell you.
Was going to say exactly this. Thanks user.

Then don't use a distro with critically outdated packages.

The several news sources bashing Microsoft for the latest monthly Windows Update fuckup don't matter either, right? I don't pretend that GNU/Linux is perfect, please stop pretending that Windows doesn't have problems.

Since we're working completely on anecdotes here, I've not experienced these dud updates, nor has anybody I know - and everybody I know runs Windows.
I'm not working on anecdotes, since I don't use Microsoft Windows.

It may not happen to you, but they exist and I'm not the one reporting them
I have no doubt they exist, user. But when you're Windows, with two billion users, even the slightest mistake can affect hundreds, even thousands of people in seconds. But because that's well under 0.1% of Windows users, the likelihood of ever meeting one of them is negligible. A flaw/bug/whatever affecting thousands of Linux users is a big thing, because it isn't an insignificant portion of the userbase. The same number of Windows users being affected is just another (Patch) Tuesday.

I'm a new GNU/Linux user, and you have to agree a certain clusterfuck on Debian:
>Try to change GDM3 and other aesthetic configurations
>Every .css and .config file is in an obsucuret bumfuck /etc/
>Hey, nice! ~/usr/share/gdm3/themes contains some CSS files
>Open it
># THIS FILE IS GENERATED DO NOT EDIT
>Doesn't fucking tell me when the main file is
>Edit it anyway
>Change works just fine
At least windows has everything cleanly into Program Files and %APPDATA%
You are comparing a system wide configuration to a user configuration, so the correct comparison would be comparing /etc/ to the Windows registry, which I find as confusing
try sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css

>Breaks another software because it updated some package
Obvious bait but:
but foobar2000 IS available.
why use word when you have libreoffice preinstalled in most distros, or WPS office
Why use visual studio when you can use vscode
You can actually play LoL on linux with PlayOnLinux
Why use fucking winrar when stuff like 7-zip or unrar that doesn't have the shitty license message exists
Why use paint.net when you have Pinta
Why use Botnet Chrome when you have Firefox or **Chronium**
You can actually install Minecraft and run it on linux, you need to install java like you did in Windows
Why use fucking MPC-HC when VLC exists?
So, that only leaves Fortnite, which is a lost cause; and razer synapse, what even the hell is that

This is basically what Allo and Google Messenger do with smart answer thing. Zoomers are 2lazy even for that.
Obvious bait is suggesting that you change your OS and half your programs for... what? "Freedumb"?
Pic related.

Maybe user and your dad do different things with office software and maybe those things are harder/impossible to so on Libre. Doing taxes is not the only use case of office suites.
Where I can get foobar2000 for linux?
it's already better brainlet
It's been better for over a decade.
>insult people
>yeah, that'll make them switch
You might be so insecure and conformist that that works. The rest of us need to be sold on more than "freedumb" and "botnet" screaming.
You said that a decade ago.
And a decade before that.
Face it - like Jesus, like Mayan spaceships, TYOTLD isn't coming.
I hear that for around 10 years.
Basically there are a few cool stories that I hear from freetards all these years, and these never change (and are not true, unfortunately).
>You said that a decade ago.
>And a decade before that.
Nah, just since around 2008 when Linux became actually usable, which is when I made the switch. I was like 12 years old and I needed a "free operating system" because Vista ran like shit on my new computer, and even I adapted just fine. You have baby duck syndrome.
>couldn't get an unworkable OS to work
>switched to Linux as a child
>calls others baby duck
This. Freetard's transparent projection is also credibility-destroying.
want it code it
Could you imagine someone unironically complaining about the command line on a technology board?
Linux actually worked at the time. Whatever landmark version of Ubuntu that came out back then was perfectly fine for all intents and purposes. Literally Vista was what most people were using at the time, there's no way you can say that Linux, even back then, was worse than Vista at launch.
