Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.
As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.
I just called Microsoft and their support line confirmed that they are, indeed, a banana.
My anus is bleeding!
Sadly enough, the same is applicable for regular programs…
If it were only this hard for bad stuff, you might have a point, but this also being an issue for good stuff is why linux is such a PITA to use…
Yeah, but it makes me feel smart when I get it working even though I’m running off the back of 100s of other users that are actually smart and listed out the steps online.
I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.
Sounds like an average day trying to run something on Linux.
Linux doesn’t need anti virus because nothing can run on it either way
Nah, most things people try to run work no problem.
It sounds like trying to install dependencies for libraries for R on Linux. 🤮
Can’t be worse than trying to fix dependencies for maven on any platform
Try and get luarocks running on windows and you will become a terrorist.
Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub
I installed some games from GOG on the steam deck. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make them show up in steam library. For software that requires modifying the system, you’ll have to jailbreak the steam os. It’s quite straight forward and irc it took me about 30min to enable sudo and install ydotool for autoclicker.
Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example
Just run Distrobox if you want to run something outside of flatpaks.
If it can be installed on arch, it can be installed on steam OS. You just have to jailbreak it beforehand, as I said in the previous comment.
From my exp, the mojo installer (the GUI installer most GoG games’ Linux versions come with) does not require
sudo
I actually had a version of linux fail to run on linux recently: software updates were failing because the newest OS version updated some directories and file structures, and downgrading would require doing manually.
Reminds me of the joke that github should just hire malware developers to fix the install process of every random git repo that requires pages of install instructions and an entire book of troubleshooting
Remind me of a time long ago when someone requested my help on setting up a project.I Tried setting up project on my system and there was malicious code that would collect and send data to the attackers, but it failed to read data because it was trying to access the C drive.
yes, somehow people keep inventing less funny versions of that
I liked OP better
Same. GNU one feels old this time around…
You do realize that’s how comedy works, right? 😅
Should have actually charged the $5 for all the work done
classic
Now that is being damned with faint praise!
That is a bit out of date. There are professional cyber crime groups now, doing very sophisticated malware.
Yes. Sadly Linux viruses are doing well, today. I suppose it is a reflection of Linux’s success.
Many such cases
Having stuff like distro package managers and flatpak helps.
