olutukko,

More like: how the most basic just starting linux -users install web browser

Luccus, (edited )

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade now as my daily driver.

Count me as ‘basic’ and ‘just starting’, because I quite like the colorful, clicky and nicely animated version, where I don’t have to remember anything and that works just as well.

And now out of my way, while I happily point, click and scroll to adjust my displays brightness, which is entirely possible through the terminal, but I’m not ridiculous or insecure enough for that.

victorz,

So many people in the comments are being wooshed.

apt install ‘WTF IS THIS SHIT?’

YoorWeb, (edited )

apt-get

Edit: huh, I’m old school I guess, this is from debian docs:

apt(8) for all interactive command line operations, including package installation, removal and dist-upgrades.

apt-get(8) for calling Debian package management system from scripts. It is also a fallback option when apt is not available (often with older Debian systems).

Not in years, by now.

TheEighthDoctor,

it’s always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download

QuazarOmega,

Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

The GIF shows a system where generally speaking this is not required (it could have been Firefox instead of Chrome).

catsarebadpeople,

Ok but the joke is that you install Chrome just to install Firefox then uninstall Chrome…

Peter1986C,
@Peter1986C@lemmings.world avatar

Which applies mostly to Windows and maybe to MacOS. You do not download an installer on Linux if the package manager has got you covered.

catsarebadpeople,

Yeah we know but that’s not the joke lol. What’s your deal dude? Explaining jokes to socially inept people is actually pretty boring. I’m out

Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?

You999,

Does nobara still include Firefox? They moved to chromium as the default browser in 39 because kiosk mode in Firefox is Bork’d

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I haven’t installed 39 yet, 38 came with it out of the box.

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

I installed 38 first and than upgraded to 39 back thab firefox was the default, with the upgrade they didn’t remove firefox and install chrome into my pc so I am hapoy avout that

But… Firefox is always already installed.

You can smell the Manjaro influence from 3 miles away

(Unless you just like living on the edge)

progettarsi, (edited )

@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Does Arco do the incomplete update bullshit too or are you just misremembering the command?

progettarsi,

yay for the win

cows_are_underrated,

Why should you use yay to install a browser?

arschfidel,

OMG, so complicated! Literally unuseable for anyone but computer scientists!

Secret300,

Why does gnome software looks so much smoother of an interface back then. Now the search takes forever and the interface is buggy.

kattenluik,

Every time I’ve ever been aware of a Gnome update is because they changed something they shouldn’t have at all or some update caused it to be buggy and slow. A lot of those were recent updates.

where_am_i,

We found the imposter!

funkless_eck,

why doesn’t my version have a launch button like the gif, btw? Genuine question. I have to launch it separately from SUPER+A every time

prime_number_314159,

A major factor is the window manager you use, and the settings of that window manager. I’m not up to speed with it, but I think this one is GNOME.

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

prunerye,

Typical Gnome user.

Use Firefox, not Chromium

HarryS,

No, use GNU IceCat instead, don’t be shacked down by proprietary blobs restricting your freedom in your web browser

Jeanschyso,

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a “potential security risk”, which… Yeah, it kinda is!

fox2263,

I thought Linux users hated “stores”

Madagaskar_sky,

? Linux has had “stores” since forever, the distro repositories. That is what this is. Linux users hate walled gardens, like App Store and Play Store.

qjkxbmwvz,

We love package managers though!

Most Linux users like the benefits of having a single command/interface to search for, install, and update software. The problem is when the source(s) for those programs is locked down.

flatpak install firefox -y
