Are you mentally handicapped?

1. it isn't
2. if you want to use botnet spyware garbage like chrome, discord, netflix, spotify etc. then kill yourself back to windows or get a mac.

Why should it be easy to install malware/spyware?

Lol you cant install software in linux by double clicking
First you have to unzip the file
Then you have to move around with cd/downloads/ and install the file with terminal
Then you have to sudo update and upgrade, then you have to navigate to the file and create a shortcut with terminal so you dont have to type ./ to run

Debian, Ubuntu ect ect all have GUI package installers that are double click. Navigation through folders is the same as windows...

Just install Arch ant type:
sudo pacman -S chrome
sudo AUR discord

And bam, here you go masterb8or

deb, sh and Appimage files are a double click to execute you fucking idiot.

Why is installing software like and such a headache on most Linux distros?

you mean a ./ to execute xd

Its actually easier
It would be at least one more click on windows, probably more in the installer.

>XD
>pathetic knowledge of Linux
You should go back.

On kde you only have to click once. Literally easier than on Windows.

>appimage
>deb
>not using dwm
you have to go back

>not compiling everything from source
>not using gentoo
>you should go back
you have to go back

No.

Linux is a kernel. It is used in operating systems such as Android and GNU.

Just install chromium and then install the flatpak of discord

Can you please shut the fuck up already

You are retarded.Really kill yourself.

lmao post shitty bait and wintards ignore it everytime
post shitty bait for lincucks and trannies desperately defend it everytime

People like you shouldn't be allowed near computers.

>open play store and log in, or yalp and don't log in
>click download and install
Is this too difficult?

Bait. Discord website -> Download for Linux -> deb and tar.gz options for download

>Download file
>Either install with GUI or sudo dpkg -i
>Headache

You've never used Linux before and are trying too do things the windows way aren't you.

>google chrome
>discord

It's fucking BAIT you idiots. Report and sage not necessarily in that order.

>discord
>google chrome
>essential
ummm, sweaty...

What distros are you talking about? Name perticlular ones.

i never really understood why people cant just share binaries on linux like they do on windows?
why do you have to share .debs?

Games on gog are given as .sh installers.
A lot of software is available as an appimage.
There's literally no difference between a deb and exe installer.
Installing software through the APP STORE is easier than hunting down exes on your browser.
Stop being retarded.

>discord and chrome
>essential
Go back to Windows, kid.

God help me...

>such a headache
Yikes! Maybe you should stick to a more locked down OS that treats you like a small child if you find this difficult at all

you must actually be autistic

> Then you have to sudo
Commit sudo su.

Why would you install botnet software when there is already a superior FLOSS option?

yay is awesome.

>go to graphical package manager
>click buttons

>alternatively go to internet
>download .deb
>install, just like on windows

retard

because Discord and Chrome is for mentally ill trannies

based linux keeping us from installing shit botnet apps

>open le package manager
>search for preferred browser
>profit

Were you living under a rock?

sudo packman -S discord
if you have Aur added.

>discord
>chrome
>essential
amiright fellow techies?

>apt-get install chrome
wow so hard, it's literally less time than navigating to the google site, clicking download, unzipping, and running the installer

found the "muh gentoo" user

>yay is awesome.

STOP BUMPING A BAIT THREAD YOU MORONS

.t has never even live booted

This

Why do we always get threads like this by literal mentally handicapped retard mongoloids like you once every two weeks?

It's literally in the software center though?

emerge net-im/discord-bin www-client/google-chrome

I dont see the issue

>hey how the fuck do I install this?
>"oh just type sudo apt-install fuckmyass-dude"
>okay neat. it installed. now in the future, how the fuck do I look up the name of a package so I don't have to ask?
>"uhhh... idk dude lol. have you tried a synaptic?"

linux users are retarded

>have to run a shell file every time for certain apps

Tell me again why this these shit OSs are still used?

Willingly subjecting yourself to worse functionality is the very opposite of intelligence.

Don't respond again. Next.

1. It's not
2. There is nothing essential about proprietary and malicious software like those 2.

>apt search "assfucking software"

it literally takes a minute to read over the options for apt to learn how to do this

> basic
> essential
> software
kek

I still use yaourt.

sudo apt-get install snap
-------------------------------------
sudo snap install discord


-people hate snap but it's literally really good.

user, this is not 1999

among other quirks, it's nice when Canonical Ubunt- I mean GNOME Software Center starts vomiting random diagnostic messages in a little modal thing about not being able to process some useless internal markup language shit and you only know that the program has been installed after button color and text changes at some time in the future but it may not happen and you won't even know why

did you just learn this or did you just find out about the meme

just download it from google play store
you aren't retarded are you, user?

exe as in installer?

> he fell for the arch meme

commit sudo kill 1

You can use discord in your browser
Chromium is in every rep
Retard
