But it doesn’t… windows has been the same (download and click) for decades. The same for Mac. Linux is different between every distro. And even for one distro you might have several install methods. It’s just not the same at all.
And if you start talking about other things, not just installing, then I literally covered that in my comment! Updating is much easier on Linux! Even with all the crazy install methods. But we’re not talking about other things, we’re talking about installing.
This is the same damn bullshit that I’ve been saying for years that the Linux community does. You’re the problem. Stop acting like Linux is perfect. Take feedback. Understand that there are things to improve and that something like having twenty ways to install isn’t a benefit of the platform but a major downside.
You're the problem in this conversation because you keep tripping over the smallest things. You start talking about how there's no update process for AppImages and then you tell me not to talk about updates but only talk about installing things when I comment on that. You're indistinguishable from a sealion right now, so I'm out of this conversation. I never said Linux was perfect, that was a figment of your imagination. I just said that every OS has a learning curve. Stick with what you like or work to help fix what you don't like. Yapping about it in the way you have done so far is not helping anyone.
