So what are your expectations for this thread?
>>51806403
well it's you who decided to use mpv instead of whatever comes built in
>>51806403
>>next, next, next
Enjoy your 300 toolbars and Java.
>>51806403
don't you have to open your webbrowser first to download that shitty codec bundle (why the fuck does that piece of shit still doesn't have a package manager ??)
oh wait, first you have to download firefox...
>>51806427
What's your point? It's not like MPC comes with Windows.

Just get over it Winfucks.
OS X / GNU+Linux is just the better operating system

To be honest KCP has its shit unchecked by default.

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 are just trying to find reasons to justify your shitty purchase. The fact that you are saying that only apple users look like normal humans and anyone cares about your device shows how much you socialize with others. Now go try to socialize (i.e. talk to someone). Protip: sitting at starbucks with a mac doesn't count.

I don't like using apt to install things automatically. There's not enough information presented to me in the process.
I know you can set things up differently, but then they comparison of ease with Windows breaks down.
To be honest, installing a program should never be a one or two click process.
>>51807838
How is there any more information presented with a Windows installer?
Do you install all of your software by manually creating directories, moving files, and adding environment variables?
>>51806420
To be a huge faggot
>>51807838
>There's not enough information presented to me in the process.
You're a moron.
>>51806499
Lol you do realize the vast majority of people use Windows, not OS homoseX
Using OS homoseX actually makes you antisocial.

The hard comes from trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in whatever you're watching.
>>51808003
You can install programs through apt with a single line request followed by a yes/no question. That's too automated for me.
>>51810212
>automation is bad
That's literally one of the reasons to use a computer in the first place. If it really bothers you so much, just fucking read some documentation and learn how apt works so its not a blackbox to you.
>>51810258
I do know how apt works but when you are doing more than apt get it's just as complicated as installing something in Windows. That's what I'm trying to get at. People brag about apt get all the time but I'm not too fond of it.
>>51810605
The is no reason why you should be installing anything outside of the package manager unless you want to dick around with some source code or something.
