I’ve got a Steam Deck, and just installed Bazzite onto it, and I’m currently wishing that installing everything was as simple as this. Back when I used Linux daily there wasn’t this whole idea of “rootless” and immutable and sandboxed environments, and just figuring out how to get yad installed for steamtinkerlaunch to work had me faffing about with Nix and Fleek and Distrobox, and they’re all neat if I had the time to learn them but long story short I wish everything was package managers with a simple GUI.
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.
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!
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.
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
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).
