>>110042792unironically this. i tried installing a flatches- i mean flatpak and my OS doesn't even support it. i thought they were supposed to be the ".exe of linux"
i installed ubuntu and didn't have to worry about either of these. didn't even need a terminal really
>>110042792is it saying that everything on macos is a webapp or something?i don't get itbecause wouldn't they use something other than chrome? why would they download chrome?
you can do the same thing in debian/ubuntu with synaptic
>>110042792Oh cool. How do you patch your software on FagOS though? What was that? You have to wear the big brother mandated cock cage? You're saying you only want to cum from your ass and your bad clitty needs to be locked up, because you're an object, a bottom, a cum dumpster? Ok.
I just use what comes with my distribution and it just works
>>110042792>posted it again award>things just work on my machine award
>>110042812the .exe of linux is appimage, flatpak is just deb/rpm without the distro limitation
>>110042792>IS THAT CHOICES>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HATE CHOICEYet you choose to repost this thread on 4chan every week. Seems like you should kill yourself you made a choice and that's not allowed.

>>110043410i choose Omarchy then
>>110042792oh, also, that is a HORRIBLE way to install an app, I have no idea why people think that's good.Ask yourself: What does the star wars actress think she is doing when she draggs the icon to "install" the application?It's exceptionally poor communication. Look there on the left. Better communication. Crazy shit's going on. Thingies are happening. It's more than you can really cope with, probably. Very important Computer Things are happening in the box.vsI put picture of... like really idk, the logo, the um. circle four color logo thing is in the um. two arrows A folder. C ... in A. two arrows. Very simple, intuitive, it's in a window, you can minimize it (why?) and close it (I guess, that's a tiny close button...) AND move it. in case you need to refer to some documentation on dragging the thing to the thing, perhaps.

>>110043410All of the choices suck though and don't work?
>>110042792Anon its beacuse in Linux unlike in Mac OS no one tells you how you should do stuff there isnt one right proper way to do stuff if you don't like something you fork it and move on that's why there isn't one standardized way of doing everything as you have freedom to do it your way how you like it
>>110043569the right way is to just use X but people like inventing problems for themselves
What is the point of these bait threads? I don't understand. You're just wasting your precious time on earth.

>>110043415Same. It's the true "just werks" choice
>>110042792I find Mac's way absolutely retarded. You could get a y/n popup asking if you want to install stuff, but noooo. You have to drag-and-drop shit.And while Google added an arrow so you know what to do, most devs don't even bother. So if you're not used to MacOS it's just fucking confusing.It's easy, mind you, but for the "it just works" OS it feels so antiquated. Grandma would have an easier time with Windows, GoogleOS, or any Linux distro.>LinuxYou don't have to use the terminal.
>>110043415Fuck off shill
>>110043569>unlike in Mac OSYou can install shit using the terminal in MacOS, too:brew install --cask kateAnd yes, Kate crashes on MacOS, too. Thanks for asking (it doesn't happen often, it's fine.)
brew install --cask kate

>>110045141?
>>110043611Anon youre missing the point here. Its not about what's the "best" but about the freedom to choose whats best for you and what you want to use not what other people deem "best" and "correct"
>>110045026I didn't say nothing about that on MacOS you can't install stuff with CLI.
>>110045314that was fun to say until gnome 3 welded the window manager to the panel and the applets. welding the window manager to the panel was merely stupid, but the applet thing actively harmed development by forcing people who want to make a basic applet to choose what only one panel they ever want their applet to run on. in X the only difference between an applet and a normal window is the applet gets its coordinates from the panel instead of just the window manager, and everyones one off panel applet from 1995 can run in any panel today
>>110045362This is exactly what I'm talking about but it seems like youre missing the point. If you don't like it fork it OR use something else.
