While I agree with the sentiment, you're comparing a mobile OS, built that way from the ground up, to a desktop OS. The same problem exists in Windows and MacOS.

it does, and we ain't in the ideal world! heres the thing, on one hand they got more media covering them, on the other they use an universal kind of installer.

worse, some devs will spin .exes and .dmgs but on linux they wont even bother giving you an install script sometimes, let alone using flatpak which is a solution that fixes most of those problems.

  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
