    and what exactly else would you call that?

    I’d call it baby duck syndrome. I hate hunting for exes online to install the most basic software and how there’s no way to update all of my apps with a single click but I understand the way I’m used to isn’t the same as the best way.

      What are your talking about? You don’t need to “hunt” for anything. You just type it into a search engine the same way you would on Linux…?

      and how there’s no way to update all of my apps with a single click

      …have you just never heard of the Microsoft store? You wanna take a guess at what that is?

        That’s not how you install stuff on Linux normally. For users like you who refuse to learn new methods, you should use you app store. That might be called Discover on your distro or maybe something else, but it’s probably there. You then search for the application and you’re done. It’s the same concept as Android (because they’re both Linux and sensible and are using a package manager).

        Alternatively you can use the terminal to search using the package manager and have it install it from there. I find that faster and easier than using a GUI, but the GUI option is there and dead simple and easy for people who can’t be asked to learn how to use the most basic tools on their computer.
