why would anyone use linux again?
Because you only need to write
>sudo apt-get program-name
and then you can run it without any problem.
No need to learn how to code or search 14 different forums like you seem to think windows users need to do.

did you really expect this to work on linux natively?
>>52543300

If it's still not there than you probably don't need it anyway. Especially if you're too retarded to be able to build the package yourself
Is /g/ really so bored it must turn even a failed shitpost attempt into a real shitpost thread at any cost?

I don't know how winturds can cope with this shit.
You have to be dedicated to struggle and fight with your OS like that
Shit and they have to pay over 100 bucks for it.
Not even macfolks are this retarded

You don't ever do that though. Windows it's more like
> Go to website for program
> Download installer
> Type next
> Click text box
> Type next
> Say no to other software bundled
> Have installer download the program
> Click next
> Finish
At least that's how it is with some programs. Luckily there are some (few) programs that have "portable" versions. On Linux (Arch/Manjaro here) it's more like
> Open terminal
> sudo pacman -S install program
> press y
> press enter
> software installs
> close terminal or whatever and launch program
Fucking computers. How do they work.
