I know it’s not that hard $ dpkg -i but opening the terminal gives normies an aneurysm and thanks to the crazy gatekeeping gen alpha doesn’t know what a file type is now.
I use Ubuntu btw. Personally, the App store’s on Linux confused me a ton, setting up Flatpak and some other package repositories. I much preferred the windows way, shocker, with just downloading and double-click the exe file.
Do I have to make a pull request myself to get this done, or what is the debate on this?
Not quite what you want, but in dolphin you can open a terminal with F4, and then just type
sudo deb -i <package.deb>and your password. Pretty quick.Typing all that is still way much more work than just 2 clicks. Besides, OP specifically asked for an alternative without opening the terminal
It’s a useful shortcut.
