Install something on a Linux-based OS:
>type "install someprogram"
>done
Installing something on Windows
>find the website that your program is hosted on

>installer.exe is not responding

>close installer

Why has something as simple as installing software not been perfected and streamlined on Windows, an operating system with millions of dollars of funding behind it? Meanwhile, Linux is developed by NEETs living in their parents' basement who have nothing better to do and it's still a better experience than Windows.

But that's not real

emerge, apt, pacman, you get the idea. Varies based on distro.

Do you use screwdrivers with nails too?

He meant you can install programs with a single command, you fucking idiot. Not that that is the actual command.

alias install='pacman - S'

The general public needs a lot of visual aid to get through something as traumatizing as installing iTunes. I like the part where a basic installer stops responding in your Windows example. Your computer must be pretty shitty.

"[packagemanager] install someprogram"
happy now?

Unless the program is not on your repo

Wow fucking hard isn't it.
Oh wait I forgot most niggers are sub 80 IQ apes, sorry Tyrone.

>>58507767
Usually it is. OP was trying to contrast what usually happens. On windows it's never in your repos because there are none.

>>58507756
but my gentoo :^(

>>58507792
OP was trying to troll, nothing else. "installer.exe is not responding" is not what usually happens. Anyone could make an eqully obnoxious thread about compiling from source and .exe files "just werking", but why bother.
>>
>>58507837
but package managers don't compile from source unless you're using gentoo

haha wendows sucks xD

jeez and i thought windows users were the dumb ones

t. someone who has never used loonix

>>58508323
So I'm the retarded one because the developers targeting Windows can't write an installer that doesn't segfault?
>>
>>58508372
yes
>>
>>58506789
You missed the part where you hope what you downloaded is not malware or that the program is legit and developer didn't add spying code themselves
