apt-get, bitches.And don't forget to close the door on the way out!
The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
You don't use Arch, btw
You mean "pre-installed with most DEs"...
Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won't be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.
I think it's just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.
KDE on Arch didn't install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.
OUT.
This is now cool people thread.
Eh, Debian still ships ESR
I miss the days when they shipped Iceweasel.
And ESR kinda sucks if you want an updated browser.
You misspelled
pacmanyay your ass outta here
Get rid of that old yay yay ass haircut
Arch puns. As an Arch user, I admit this is hilarious.
I use Arch btw.
I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?
But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.
I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?
apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
apt is a wrapper of a wrapper for dpkg.
That's like dnf is a wrapper for yum which is a wrapper for rpm.
