I don’t know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.
Use the app store like you do on your phone
And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching “how do I install X”.
🤷

It’s an analogy to help people understand how easy it is to install stuff on linux (applications, libraries, services, etc.). App stores are just frontends to package managers. Package managers get their packages from package repositories. On linux, there are multiple package repositories and a plethora of package repositories.
On Android (a linux derivative) nearly each manufacturer has their own app store + Google App Store. There are also opensource app stores like the most known one: F-Droid. Which also has a default repository, but others can be easily added.
The iPhone famously only had sideloading and often what was installed was an app store pointing to the cracker’s repository. Starting April 2024, Apple will have to allow installing other app stores (only 15 years after Android) thanks to EU regulation.
Linux allowed all that long before app stores were a thing.Steam, GOG, the Epic Store, and a bunch of “stores” work on the same concept. Do you balk at those too?

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium
No, use
GNU IceCatinstead, don’t be shacked down by proprietary blobs restricting your freedom in your web browserUse Firefox, not Chromium
Use whatever you like. Circlejacking this comment everywhere will not increase Firefox marketshare.
Typical Gnome user.
And that’s the SLOW way!
Exactly
The correct way is:
sudo pacman -S chromium sudo pacman -Rs chromium sudo pacman -S firefox
browsers i have:
firefox (main)
librewolf (😏)
vivaldi (no longer have installed except on my phone)
chromium (for webusb)
chrome?
Yeah the mouse just passed over Firefox.
Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a “potential security risk”, which… Yeah, it kinda is!
firefox tho
Literally no Linux user ever…
I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.
just use brave or Vivaldi
pacman -Sy waterfox
it’s always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?
Does nobara still include Firefox? They moved to chromium as the default browser in 39 because kiosk mode in Firefox is Bork’d
But… Firefox is always already installed.
Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy
The GIF shows a system where generally speaking this is not required (it could have been Firefox instead of Chrome).
Ok but the joke is that you install Chrome just to install Firefox then uninstall Chrome…
Which applies mostly to Windows and maybe to MacOS. You do not download an installer on Linux if the package manager has got you covered.
Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.
21 minutes. Mother of God.
and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don’t work
Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?
For real, I was like… so what the hell?
It’s a parody of stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI
nixos users installing a web browser:
Man, I thought having more CPU cores was what made compile jobs faster, I’ve never tried compiling on more screens before. TIL.
sudo apt install firefox
This guy has super cow powers.
That would be sudo apt install cowsay
