Linux users install chrome now…?

Alsephina,

Well they already had firefox installed it seems

M500,

Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.

Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.

catastrophicblues,

Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.

Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.

pmk,

The problem would be that graphical UIs can look very different. Each distro with all their supported desktops would require documentation. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a short introductory documentation for people who have no clue about linux. Debian claims to be the “universal operating system”, but new users are usually directed towards Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS, but why? There’s a possibility here.

0ddysseus,

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Diplomjodler,

HERESY! GET THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!!

Nomad,

AI content?

Alsephina,

What

It’s a subversion on these memes

SkepticalButOpenMinded,

Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?

julianh,

It’s a parody of stuff like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

zurohki,

Man, I thought having more CPU cores was what made compile jobs faster, I’ve never tried compiling on more screens before. TIL.

For real, I was like… so what the hell?

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Maybe it’s making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?

It’s not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.

victorz,

I’d rather click a button that installed everything to the right place than relying on myself to drag a single thing to a specific folder. Opening a folder first and having to drag is… a drag. That’s my opinion.

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

Installing on a Mac looks like this.

  1. Click on the app package you downloaded
  2. Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cc45c165-e57c-4b81-a333-a5b44d22696d.png

Imo it’s very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.

someacnt_,

UI design of apple truly amazes me. Did Jobs really worked on the design as well

DrRatso,

Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.

db2,

Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.

Fungah,

When I needed to use chrome (ugh) to run a program I just compiled I googled chromium… which didn’t work… so I tried troubleshooting it. But I don’t understand c. Or why it didn’t work I can’t remember what happened next but it took hours.

I have ungooohlef. Chromium now though which is great.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I was confused because yeah… Why is this gif using a GUI?

muhyb,

Imagination? That’s bloat.

Ziglin,

!aphantasia

fmstrat, (edited )

No, we write a bash script to install whatever it is and put it in a software folder that is synced on our next new install. This script also has to be updated every time, but, you get it.

Diplomjodler,

If you can’t read HTML, why even bother using a computer?

chrome?

Yeah the mouse just passed over Firefox.

victorz,

They have that installed already. Likely that is their main browser.

Aurenkin,

Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.

Windows users uninstalling browser

and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don’t work

Unyieldingly,

you can install the Malware CCleaner on Malware Windows and uninstall it in a few minutes.

pHr34kY,

And that’s the SLOW way!

visnudeva,
@visnudeva@lemmy.ml avatar

Exactly

VitabytesDev,

The correct way is:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -S chromium
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -Rs chromium
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -S firefox
</span>

firefox tho

victorz,

They already have that, as you can see in the clip.

slazer2au,

Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?

furycd001,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

Literally no Linux user ever…

jonne,

I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

topinambour_rex,
@topinambour_rex@lemmy.world avatar

Their future plans is less firefox, more mozilla, like 2023.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

just use brave or Vivaldi

dog_,

Ahh yes, chrome or chrome. What great choices!

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

shut the fuck up firefox > chromium

dog_,

I was being sarcastic, god damn.

WheatleyInc,
@WheatleyInc@lemmy.world avatar

Use a user agent spoof extension on Firefox, should trick the website into thinking it’s running chrome.

Ziglin,

You mean Chromium right?

jonne,

No, Chrome. Specifically for the DRM stuff to access streaming services and casting, things that don’t quite work well with Firefox (by design). I use libre stuff when I can, but I make exceptions, I know not everyone uses Linux that way.

Cassa,
@Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

have you tried switching useragent? The websites I’ve been to have either been solved by useragent or chromium (just one site didn’t work with firefox and useragent)

jonne,

Switching user agents isn’t going to get around DRM implementations. Anyway, that was for specific streaming services I’m not using any more, so I haven’t needed to use Chrome in months.

VitabytesDev,

Spoof the user-agent using an extension

furycd001, (edited )
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

If I can’t view a website in Firefox, then I probably don’t want to view it anyway. If I really must visit it then I’ll change the user agent…
