Maybe the devs are lazy or maybe because of strict nazi-like packaging rules that prevent the devs creating a package/repo/ppa for your package manager...

>>56658955
nazis didn't have restrictive software packaging though, they were against that

mint is pile of garbage held together with bubblegum and duct tape. one of the worst distros ive ever tried. updates are like trying to dance in a body cast

go ubuntu or debian

Never happened to me for LM. You may have a virus.

It happens on Microsoft operating systems

I really don't see why this isn't more common desu. It's bad when you're releasing a new version of your software and instead of providing a AppImage or similiar to your users you have to wait until the Distro's version updates.

Which is currently at 2.3. And the newest one is 4.5.

Seriously, who wants to do go through any of this trouble of adding custom PPAs, third party debs, sude that ,sudo this, when all you do on Windows is go to the website, download the .exe, run it.

Stop downloading multi-cultural porn

Still requires you to compile, when all I want is the finished executeable and libraries so it can run.

>>56659452
There are AUR packages that download precompiled binaries... What are you talking about you retard?

Ever heard of Yaourt?

>>56659561
yaourt just automates it.
Some pkgbuilds just pull a git repo, then compile and install it

>>56659595
So why not use Yaourt

>>56659595
I think you're not using yaourt
