GNU/Linux users, does anyone miss .exe installers? How am I

>>60582941
Use unity desktop or gnome 3 and click on .deb shit.

I got terminal cancer from reading op

>>60582941
Gog games are 1 click installs without .exe. Not really sure what you're on about op.

>>60582941
>How am I suppose to install stuff in Ubuntu without a terminal installer?

ubuntu software center?
synaptics?

>>60582992
I'm attempting to install Godot but I can't find any distribution thing and the Ubuntu store doesn't have it

>unzip Godot
>move it to opt/godot
>enable administration rights for it
>make an icon for it in Programs
>icon doesn't work

>>60582941
Since v. 16.04 Gnome's software entity will install .deb packages for you.

>>60582941
Google a tutorial anon

>>60582941
Just use the terminal.

sudo dpkg -i thing.deb
Or
./thing.sh

Maybe you should reconsider whether GNU/Linux is the right operating system for you. There is no shame in going for different option.

Install gentoo

why not use a terminal?

>packed with the latest botnet abomination
I got a daily reminder from my sister on those shitty msi installs. Almost all of them contain something crap. If you are lucky it's just a chrome installer, but if not...

>>60582941
literally with one click in an freetarded "appstore", or by double clicking .debs since ubuntu 10.04 i believe

No, exes are shit

>>60582941

[spoiler]i tried this

>>60583931
but there is no godot icon art and the program can't load the "more info" thing

No wonder linux has less than 1% desktop market share. People would rather put up with the abomination that is Windows 10 than have to jump through unnecessary hoops.

>>60583332
I would use Atari, Commodore or classic MacOS computers in a second if they were still around, I just don't like Unix.

>>60582941
What the fuck happened to .zip files you can just extract and run? Why the hell do you need an installer?

>ITT: lincuck faggot asks for help and noone can help him/they tell him to fuck off retard

And you fags wonder why shitnux is irrelevant since the day it was made

>>60583931
that was how it was done 5 years ago, most programs who aren't in the respositories can be found in program.deb form, install it with GDebi

>>60584203
oh, so it was just a b8 thread? sorry OP, hopefully you're being paid for this

>>60584203
Micro"soft dik" please leave

>>60584203
I think you replied to the wrong thread by mistake there.

>>60583931
This is terrible, terrible advice and probably one of the worst ways to do it available.

You could always just unzip and run, moving it to opts and making an icon is just quality of life / best practice.
I have a shitload of binaries in ~/Programming/tools

This

What's with all the Habsburg posting over the last few months. Did everyone just discover why incest should just stick to porn or something?

>>60584853
Has to do with bogposting i think

GUI frontends like synaptic or use appimages:

http://appimage.org/
https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages

>>60582941
Fuck no, I even prefer a git repo with a nice makefile and readme to a sketch as fuck .exe from some shitty website.

>GNU/Linux users, does anyone miss .exe installers?
The answer is no because there exists both self-contained packages and executable installers like on windows along with the package managers, so there's nothing to miss.

>How am I suppose to install stuff in Ubuntu without a terminal installer?
At this point i genuinely don't know if you're just uninformed or if you're doing this on purpose but i'm gonna reply anyway: User-oriented distros (like ubuntu) usually ships GUI tools for managing packages, even on DIY distros (like arch) you can install GUI tools for managing packages.

Have you ever used a distro like ubuntu? because it's actually a bit hard to not see programs like the software center, gdebi or synaptic when you try it.

>>60583007
>Godot
If you don't want to just run it from the folder where you unzip it then you can get it from steam if you want.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/404790/Godot_Engine/

Absolutely not. Linux package managers are the best concept ever invented. It actually precedes crap like app stores, and is more advanced.

.deb .run .rpm ...

>>60582941
I actually hated it. It always bugged the shit out of me I had to hand over reins to a program written by a total dipshit for all I know to reach it's hand up my systems ass and modify God knows what just so I could run some trivial program.

>>60582941
I hated having to go to some website to download something
usually softpedia or some shithole
and then it installs a tool bar or something even if you clicked no
free software repositories should have been something on windows in the 90s

>>60582941
GNOME Software
Ubuntu Software Center
Synaptic Package Manager
GDEBI or whatever equivalent for your distro

Try using google before asking on /g/ next time.

No thanks

Nah, I'm good. Package managers save a lot of time.

Tfw just married my first cousin last week and we had our baby 3 weeks ago and we have a healthy girl.

Why do people think that cousin born babies will come out with defects? I was at the US embassy two days ago and when we told the woman that we are cousins her eyes widened and said OK there's no problem with that. Kek

>It actually precedes crap like app stores

I dunno how you can call app stores crap when they're just package managers with a GUI front end.

>>60582941
Software center for ubuntu
Synaptic package manager

Dont miss windows exe installations at all
>programs not amassed in a repo. have to find actual programs using google, and top results are usually paid crapware unless you specify a program
>full of free trials that asks for registration or email addresses

I still use windows but I installed mostly gnu/bsd/freeware software so it might as well be linux
