You'll end up doing everything OP posted. Searching for another repo, downloading a version that won't install because of dependencies, adding another 10 repos to handle all the dependencies, computer ends up going to shit because everything is incompatible with each other.

Fun fact: You find everything from AUR so if you want to install everything that was ever created you choose AUR using distro. If you are happy with normal consumer programs then Ubuntu or Mint has everything preinstalled for you.
Never are you required to visit every webpage individually, you can install things without ever opening your web browser. When will Windows get there? Packages are also updated with a central update so you don't have to update everything individually, depending on each program's own updater script (possibly popping up constantly).
Ubuntu does not represent every distro. You pick the one that suits you and your "demands". One or two extra programs can still be comfortable to install manually from a website if you want to, you don't have to change distro just for that.
>>53858397
>>53858328
so would that ubuntu studio shit suffice?
>>53858194
That just doesn't happen without you trying to make it happen, or being a complete idiot.
Just for you, here's how it actually works:
>synaptic package manager or commandline apt-get install package
Not there / too old?
>add PPA for your release for package
>click update / cmd run apt-get update
>install package as above
Conflicts / dependency issue? (very rare)
>PPA should include any non-standard dependencies (things not in the base repo)
A package conflicts and / or (extremely rarely) is an older specific version of an installed library?
>Resolve the conflict by uninstalling the conflicting packages if possible / viable.
Not an option.
>Get or make a static build of the program (no linking to system libs needed)
Read the output from your package manager. If you are going to fuck your system, it will tell you that you're about to blow your own brains out. The number of times I've been passed step 2 in the above is exactly once in 5 years.
>>53858443
The fact that you had to write this much shows that Linux has the worst software installation system ever.
>want to install software

>ppas is added automatically, if not it will tell you why.
Or

Installing software is not hard.
Stop pretending to be an idiot just because you use Windows.
>>53858328
There is no Photoshop for Linux because of Adobe. You'll have to settle for the Windows version using Wine. It should work but the program wasn't meant for that or even fine-tuned to work in Wine at least. Adobe has not helped it at all so it's only as good as external developers can fix it.
I'm not sure which works better, PlayOnLinux or Wine, but I would try Wine myself.
If your Photoshop is pirated then I'm not sure if your license-dodging tool works in Wine, even if the actual Photoshop does.
>>53858459
No, no it doesn't.
>>53858459

I have a job but I don't use Linux there, since the company offers the workstations fully installed. I can say that people with jobs actually like knowing a faster way to do things, like installing programs easily with one command. It's also not using processing power to render websites at first, you just open the terminal and everything is absolutely instant.

I literally just had something like this happen trying to get net-snmp-perl installed on a RHEL7 machine. net-snmp-perl isn't available from RH's repos, so I used a version I found for CentOS7, which required 4 or 5 additional pre-reqs, one of which also wasn't available from RH's repos. I had to source that one from pbone, then install the other deps, THEN try to install net-snmp-perl... but the one I got from CentOS is "noarch" for some stupid as fuck reason, so instead of being installed where it belongs (/usr/lib64/x/x/x) it installed in /usr/lib/x/x/x and now the Nagios plugin I'm trying to get working (check_snmp_cpu.pl) can't find it.

Which do not have every Linux program in existence or are massively out of date. You actually have to hunt to find out how to install some programs on Linux.
Meanwhile, on Windows. Every Windows program will install on Windows with a single exe and 1 click.
>>53858039
REALISTIC VERSION:
>dnf search <program you want>
>dnf install <package name>
If you already have RPM fusion repos installed, which should be part of OS installation, it's extremely unlikely that your program won't be available through installed repos. If it's not, it's usually as easy as running a .rpm like you would a .exe on Windows, except the installer doesn't try to install three adware programs and a toolbar.
>>53864893
>If the program is available for linux there's a big probability that is packaged for ubuntu or debian
Yes, but many are out of date or don't have debs or an official ppa, even.
With Windows, you always have an exe that is up to date, ready to download.
With Linux, you actually have to put in work to get ALL of your software up to their latest versions.
Can you at least admit that?
>>53865072
>>With Linux, you actually have to put in work to get ALL of your software up to their latest versions.
This is very true and I can't even get a ppa for like 25% of the software I use because the developers don't provide a way for me to update their software. Some of them only push out the .tar.gz version and nothing else.
>>53865072
No, because unless you're using an old version of a distro or a "stable" distro that's meant for servers, like Debian, it's completely false.
>>53865042
>Single click

>>53865108
Sorry but even the latest version of Ubuntu does not mean you will get the latest software easily. A lot of it is in the Ubuntu repos, but either:
1) The package is out of date
2) It's not in the repo
3) You have to hunt for the software online and many developers do not provide a deb or even a ppa.
With Windows, I can have a 10 year old version of Windows such as 7 and I will be able to install 100% of the Windows software out there with no fuss. Just 1 click.
Linux is a fucking mess.

I honestly haven't used Ubuntu in years, but I've never had this issue with Fedora or any RPM based distro.
Although I do have to call you on your bullshit with Windows "just werking". I've had programs fail to install before, especially any type of drivers. I had a Broadcom wireless adapter in my laptop and it took two hours to find a working driver the first time I reinstalled Windows. I've also had driver installations fuck up and had to use DDU and reinstall multiple times to get it to work correctly. But sure, keep acting like Windows is flawless.
>>53865265
>I had a Broadcom wireless adapter in my laptop and it took two hours to find a working driver the first time I reinstalled Windows.
Never had this problem. I would just go to the OEM page and a working driver was there and easy to install.
>>53865326
I tried to install the driver from Dell's website multiple times. It would sometimes "work" at 1/10 of the rated speed. Granted, I had the same issues with Linux, but it definitely didn't work correctly in Windows.
After researching the problem I determined that a large part of the issue is that that chipset was mostly used in Apple devices, and since Apple and Dell use the same manufacturing (Foxconn) there were a few Dell models that included this chipset but Dell didn't put much effort into creating a working driver.
>>53865072
>Yes, but many are out of date or don't have debs or an official ppa.
What is your definition of many?
>With Windows, you always have an exe that is up to date, ready to download.
This is not a windows or linux thing, programs can be packaged including all the dependencies if it is really necessary but in most cases people can just use the repository versions.

>With Linux, you actually have to put in work to get ALL of your software up to their latest versions.
This depends a lot on the distro. Remember that different distros has different packaging policies. Making software is not easy, that's why release cycles exists. If you think about it proprietary software frequently uses an slow developments model with very separated major releases and only with bug and security fixes, most linux distros are not different in that sense. Some people expects a few changes as possible in their software and others prefers to have the newest versions always. If having the newest version for everything without putting work in it worries you then choose a distros that always pushes the latest releases. A lot of programs that worked in XP now doesn't work in newest versions of windows and o lot of recent versions of programs doesn't work with older versions of windows, that's why i think your argument is unfair and forced.
A big advantage of open source is that distribution of the software has much fewer restrictions that's why big repost containing FOSS software can exist and that's just very convenient. On top of that package managers takes care automatically of a lot of tasks, for example try uninstalling a lot of big programs in windows one after another. Also on linux you have both options, you can let the package manager to take care of dependencies or you can install self contained packages, you're not limited in that sense.
Can you at least admit that?

While I agree with you and everyone stating that the AUR repo is very vast, it doesn't have everything, and sometimes I end up doing what OP described.

>>53876001
Nah, I can vouch for him. Most of the time it is that easy. If it's not in the official repo, then you just use the user repo, which is accessed on different ways depending on the distribution. Not once have I had to do more than add a ppa and then use the command he listed. Or use yaourt for the AUR.
As someone who has used Linux, I can easily tell you're someone who hasn't ever actually used Linux and is just spouting blatant lies. No one has the problems you claim to have had with installing software on Linux.
Also, the command line is vastly superior to any GUI once you learn it (not hard, doesn't require programming knowledge like an inexperienced user such as yourself might think).

Linux really does have huge issues with managing your installed software.
It's all fine and dandy if you can find it in apt-get or the Synaptic Package Manager, but if you have to add repositories or build from source on your own, shit gets really messy. You enter the age-old territory of Dependency Hell that has plagued Linux for well over a decade.
I had that very problem tonight. I wanted to try installing OBS on my LinuxMint machine tonight, I did the console commands to add the Ubuntu repositories that the instructions specify to get it and then when I tried to install OBS it complained all of the dozen dependencies that it needs to function.
It's so fucking bad. Somebody needs to make a universal installer executable that works across all major Linux distributions and program manager that goes with it. Windows really has this all nailed down right.
If Linux users never have issues installing programs, then windows users never have issues with spying or privacy.
