IDK, but I more often had issues with installing apps to Linux than to Windows, usually dependency-hell related ones, but once I had trouble enabling snap on Linux Mint.

but once I had trouble enabling snap on Linux Mint.
Seems like a win
When you make fun of something that really isn't an issue it just makes your side look worse. Windows has real problems, but installing shit ain't it.
My dad can install anything on windows with clicks, he can't do shit with a terminal.
I'm a power user and love GUIs. I'll use git desktop all day everyday, instead of typing shit in a command line. It's one button press vs typing paths and hoping you don't misspell shit.
I don't really get the whole command line fetish, there are no extra points in life for doing things the harder way.
Yay -S app is hard? Or apt install app? Or flatpak?
Being used to a habit doesnt make the habit the default way. Humans adapt quickly.
Check the name of this community again.
Power users are just regular users with an ego.
GUI is like fast food, sure you can eat it and enjoy it, and you will live to see another day, but it's inferior in every way to everything else. The real problem is that people start acting like fast food is the default food and start looking at people who eat raw or cook their own food or pay for food at a restaurant as being full of themselves.
There are countless real advantages to CLI over GUI, but allowing people to use their computer effectively by fumbling around isn't one of them.
I think mixing app and system components together is a bad idea, and Linux desktop is still fighting that.
When all the app on a consumer laptop is expected to depend on the same dependencies, the system run into dependency hell, which means many apps needs to be downgraded to keep older apps working.
This mixture of system dependency and app dependency also prevents users to use the the latest version of an app on a hyper stable system.
Flatpak basically aim to solve this problem, where each app chooses their own dependencies, so you don't need to downgrade all your app just because one app depends on python 2.7.
I can't remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don't think that's ever happened on my current computer.
The last time I got a DLL error was back in Windows 98 ffs.
I got one on my work laptop this week. It's controlled by a shitty management software that is used by our IT, but still.
I got this when I didn't have the correct .NET installed
Been using Linux off and on since 2003-ish. I remember the days of having to compile applications and having to download various dependencies. Linux now is so streamlined and easy. Minus gentoo.
Edge (Microsoft browser) thinks the Microsoft Teams exe installer FROM MICROSOFT SERVER is malware, no joke.
This was made by someone who has never used either
Eh, Windows complaints tend to get pretty hyperbolic much of the time. It’s slow and annoying but I’ve always worked with it
But the description of the Linux update process matches my experience with mint, pretty much. I even use the GUI update utility because it will put a little icon in the bottom corner of the screen. It’s quick even if I’m using a program that’s going an update, and if the kernel gets updated it’s just like “hey remember to reboot buddy!”

get an antivirus that actually works and then use either policy plus or group policy to delay windows updates
Delay feature updates by 365 days
Delay quality updates by 30 days
semi-annual channel
Disable preview builds
then use O&O shutup10 ++ to disable the bullshit and you're golden.
"Here have this brand new house!!"
"But you still have to smack down a few walls, disable the cameras we added, find a way to go trough your door without having your anus print registered with us, and keep us from moving your furniture to our warehouse, all for your convenience ofcourse."
As soon as I realized that Microsoft laughs at people trying to harden Windows I switched to Linux and never looked back. Microsoft doesn't care about you hardening it and they don't care about cracked versions in the slightest. You're a statistic with an advertisement in your home and you'll still be making money for them.
I'm not paying for pro
Are people still buying Windows after the invention of KMSPico ?
What the actual fuck are you smoking?
At least update this meme to the 2010s if you won't go to the 2020s
i love when i need to search for dll files
