10000% this. If someone tells me to compile from source, nahhh. Gimme a executable or a dpkg or something I can run with one line. Heck, you can make Python builds with Poetry that will dump your app to the path so you can just run it.
I tell the Linux crowd this constantly and they don’t get it.
Your OS is trash if I have to chmod +x a dpkg I downloaded. No it isn’t just double click to run a new program.
No, pointing to the terminal isn’t a viable solution for end users… because most of them uninstalled when they opened terminal.
People want shit that works. The FOSS community is unwilling to make that happen but wants market share.
Stupid smelly nerds.
Stupider jocks like you don't understand that there are different types of open source. There are bigger projects that are production ready and big enough to have a following and they DO provide all that a limited brain like yours needs to run the software. There are other smaller and early stage projects that get released to github and elsewhere and are there for smarter kids to access early if they can. You can't be both a brainless amoeba AND on the edge of technological advancement. Grow up and start wearing glasses.
