  • Oh hells no

    .exe to execute is (probably one of) the worst ideas Microsoft has come up with and has caused endless misery for people.

    If you’re talking about a single package to install then there are various solutions for that that are better. There are the apt and rpm packages, Sudo apt install packagename installs everything automatically, or I can do that from a app store if I’m a newbie.

    For apps that want a wider net, they can use flatpaks

    Anyone complaining that installing software in Linux is always complicated hasn’t installed software on Linux. Yeah I’m a power user but to me it’s factors faster and easier to do this stuff on Linux than on Windows

    Yeah, Linux has many ways to get stuff done, that is because many different people want and get their own way. I don’t see this as necessarily bad. With the three ways described above, you can cover pretty much everything

    I agree that noone should have to get into a console to get your system or app working but please note that this same shit happens on windows too, just way more bizarre. The amount of times I saw “modify this registry entry with this UUID code” is crazy, while on Linux it’s “run this command or modify that text file”. I still prefer the latter















  • Its going to be interesting to see how I can degoogle my phone

    I’ve already stopped using search nearly a decade ago, I only still had a storage subscription (and with that, YouTube premium) which I just now stopped.

    The only service I’m still interested in is YouTube because of the content, the rest can die in a fire, I’m going full self hosting

    YouTube has revance, right?

    What’s the best non Google OS for a phone? I have a OnePlus 12
