“But can Linux install things via a single .exe file? HAHAH EAT IT NERD!”

- 10’ish years ago past me, before discovering the magical wonders of the package manager

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.

But Windows does have an app store, and has for ages now.

Yeah but it’s awful, and can only install UWP apps which are just plain bad

When is the last time you’ve used it? Microsoft opened it up and now you can find all types of non UWP apps in it.
