the best way to be package management is not to do package management

Love how you don't acknowledge Edge as a browser lol

[captive]

Windows : Need a browser to install a browser
Linux : Doesn't even need a desktop to install a browser

archlinux : 10 seconds
windows : 1 minute
gentoo : 1 day

I was always a Windows guy. The first time i installed lxle linux on an old 32bit pc i thought i majorly messed up big time because of how fast it was to install. Since i realized vlc, libreoffice, gimp and chromium run on linux ive had no problems.

Winget is like the unloved child in the package manager family.

Protip: pacman -S firefox && firefox

"Linux is free if you don't appreciate your time"
*proceeds to install Firefox in more than 1 minute*

[aaronrancsik]

To make the time gap bigger: Install Chromium or anything but FF and try to make it default. This is easy with FF because FF reverse engineered the win 11 'make default API' but Chrome does not yet. EDIT: for grammar na*is

I've been using Linux for so long (2years) that I actually forgot how slow things were on windows

It's really weird to see Chinese text in terminal

[SearInMinecraft]

As an Arch Linux user (btw), I can totally agree with this.

Typing speed in linux: 🚀⚡💨
Typing speed in windows: 🐌🐢

[toydotgame]

Honestly Arch could've had a time-save by using Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal, plus running `firefox` from the terminal too (rather than searching it once it was installed. Typing and internet speeds could be improved too but they shouldn't count.

you forgot to include the part where I spend an excruciating time figuring out what command it is

I'm a linux user, but now you can just "winget install firefox"

[thefrogge]

Ah yes my favorite package manager, Edge!

[ZombossLordOfDoom]

Also Linux: "Whoops, thanks to your singular typo we overrode your entire computer's data space with the Japanese amogus character! Sorry!"

[josephusophia]

winget ?
microsoft store ?
wget & curl ?

[Jmcgee]

It took more time to do a first time startup of Edge than it took to fresh install AND start Firefox.

Now do "Windows vs. Linux user correctly setting up a triple screen setup with three differently sized screens without prior Window Manager knowledge"
