"guys installing apps on linux is way easier all you do is <insert 3 or 4 worded command here>"

we literally have a ton of really polished gui app store apps that act as a frontend for flatpak and binary package managers, did we just forget those existed?

kde discover? mint software manager? gnome software? pop shop? appcenter? thats what you SHOULD be talking about, not this unintuitive command line shit -.-

do you really expect a windows user to install linux for the first time and think "ah yes time to open a terminal" so they can install their favourite web browser? get real. theyre gonna click on the shopping bag

@nano Not gonna lie, KDE Discover and the Gnome equivalent have always been sort of fancy looking clunkers compared to apt install [program]". Granted I am currently using Debian so of course a single user wouldn't have root access and it becomes baffling as to why MPV isn't installing/downloading. At least the terminal emulator gives one a more visible case of whatever is going on, as a progress bar can only depict so much.

@nano In my opinion, the best graphical installer was Synaptic but it seems like Debian recently(?) switched away from it so
