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?

    What linux does and does not protect the user from is endlessly hilarious to me.

    Hey linux, I want to install a file you downloaded.

    Linux: Sounds risky man

    I’d like my file explorer to have super user privleges.

    Linux: Are you out of your god damned mind?

    Hey linux, I want to delete the kernel that I’m actively using right now.

    Linux: Hell yeah. I’ll go to the looney bin with you.
