>modern linux software
>maintainer provides curl + pipe into bash as the only installation method

I can't wait for linux to crash and burn if we condition people to run random scripts off the internet.

Not to mention these scripts fail once you realize rpm and deb package formats can be used outside of ubuntu and fedora.

Devs are lazy and retarded, and don't give a shit about the security of users. News at 11.

>>108948772
in this regard this is a modern fault also seen in windows for example python scripts or powershell stuff to install some cli tool when you already have cmd that runs actual cli tools just fine.
this whole idea of using modern tools just for the sake of it almost feels like the developer is a zoomer with total lack of knowledge about basic tools. like imagine people forgetting wheels exist and making clearly inferior square ones to move around, then using as argument that it is newer so it's better or something

installing shit on linux is such a pain in the ass. loonixers can cope all they want.
even installing intellij idea with a start menu entry and working auto-update function is a pain in the fucking ass.

sudo pacman -S intellij-idea
You can also use brew if your package manager doesnt have it

>>108948994
you don't make any sense, retard.

I already have it working now. it's just an example.

>>108948939
Most of the "devs" are retard low iq Windows and macOS users. Linux users usually have to create easy way to install something because these people are brain damaged.
>>
>>108948907
Linux is just a colonel, maybe install a distro with a package manager

I wish I had an orange site account to spam that there until these "devs" learn.
That seems like the only way to fix these issues in 2026

installing is overrated.
extract to a directory, look, +x if needed, run

If you download a .deb on linux, it will open with a dpkg frontend that will one-click install the package. This is the default file association.

man that was tough, wish I was still on windows where I can just double click a executable which I have no idea what it does, and if I have trouble some friendly sirs in hyderabad are always watching me and can remote in and fix it for me.
