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?

      It doesn’t check dependencies.

      You have 356 different copies of libcurl installed on your system.

      Nginx, Apache and Lighttpd are all running in the background and collectively using the same port, somehow.

      Wayland and X are both running with multiple sessions but none of them are on the default TTY.

        dpkg doesn’t? I sometimes use apt install command but didn’t think it mattered if the deb package was configured right.

          It’s an embellishment on the above monkey’s paw comment, not actual technical information.
