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?
FWIW instead of
dpkg -i stuff.deb, you can use apt as such:apt install ./stuff.deb(The path syntax like./is required to use a local file instead of searching for a package name).Unlike dpkg, apt is able to fetch dependencies if needed.
