This group is full of half-wit, dumb-fuck distro lackeys that
couldn't configure their way out of a paper bag. All that they
can do is install Ubuntu/Mint and then sit and drool like retards
in front of their idiot boxes.
If there are any true GNU/Linux gurus, then meet up at:
comp.os.linux.hardawe
Be prepared for some REAL discussions -- and I mean REAL.
There will be no puffed up baloney on my group -- that's
guaranteed.
See you soon.

your computer to effectively and efficiently solve problems. That is,
are you able to apply it to work for you? That matters far more than
just flexing because you know how to install software the hard way.

Not interested.

Exactly. I don't have to be a "guru" to use Linux. I like to actually USE Linux, not maintain it 24/7.
I don't recall anyone I've ever installed Linux Mint for (teachers and relatives) complain that it was complicated. If anything, they found it simple to use. Acquiring software is where they had the most trouble,
mostly because they were accustomed to the idea that they had to go to a website and download a program from there. The idea that everything you
need would be available from a repository was very confusing to them at first. Since that's becoming the norm, especially with smartphone users,
it's no longer a taboo.

It's been interesting watching the evolution of Microsoft Store.
Originally it was the path to distribute UWP apps in Windows 8. The only
way, in fact, mimicking the Apple Store. That was a dud so they expanded
it to games, music, videos, and e-books. I think music and books are gone now.
They finally opened it up for Windows 11 and it's a mixed bag. For
example you can get PuTTY and GIMP from the store along with some paid
apps.
I think it would be fair to say https://snapcraft.io/store and https:// flathub.org/ copied Microsoft, Google, or Apple. They may be easier for
new users. I've got to say package managers like Discover on Fedora KDE aren't the most user friendly interfaces.
My favourite interface is the Discover one. It's simple and straight to
the point.

I seldom use it particularly for updates. I usually know what I want to install. Interestingly when I just checked dnf and flatpak said the system was up to date but the icon showed updates available. Discover showed two updated related to pgadmin4. (the PostgreSQL management GUI).
