      Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.

      Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.

        Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.

        Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.

        The problem would be that graphical UIs can look very different. Each distro with all their supported desktops would require documentation. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a short introductory documentation for people who have no clue about linux. Debian claims to be the “universal operating system”, but new users are usually directed towards Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS, but why? There’s a possibility here.

      When I needed to use chrome (ugh) to run a program I just compiled I googled chromium… which didn’t work… so I tried troubleshooting it. But I don’t understand c. Or why it didn’t work I can’t remember what happened next but it took hours.

      I have ungooohlef. Chromium now though which is great.

      I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

          No, Chrome. Specifically for the DRM stuff to access streaming services and casting, things that don’t quite work well with Firefox (by design). I use libre stuff when I can, but I make exceptions, I know not everyone uses Linux that way.

      Maybe it’s making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?

      It’s not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.

        I’d rather click a button that installed everything to the right place than relying on myself to drag a single thing to a specific folder. Opening a folder first and having to drag is… a drag. That’s my opinion.

          Installing on a Mac looks like this.

          1. Click on the app package you downloaded
          2. Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it

          Imo it’s very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.

            Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.

      1. Spend three days downloading and trying it distros
      2. Pick arch
      3. Sudo pacman install tmux, htop, {emacs, vim, nvim depending on your alignment}
      4. Get your tmux and editor configs just right
      5. Get into an argument on the “Discussion” section of Arch Wiki about your tmux hot keys
      6. Share your htop screenshots on social media (and by social media I mean old reddit Lemmy and your IRC group with the 1 other IRC user who hasn’t left yet)
      7. Pacman install Firefox

        It’s an analogy to help people understand how easy it is to install stuff on linux (applications, libraries, services, etc.). App stores are just frontends to package managers. Package managers get their packages from package repositories. On linux, there are multiple package repositories and a plethora of package repositories.

        On Android (a linux derivative) nearly each manufacturer has their own app store + Google App Store. There are also opensource app stores like the most known one: F-Droid. Which also has a default repository, but others can be easily added.
        The iPhone famously only had sideloading and often what was installed was an app store pointing to the cracker’s repository. Starting April 2024, Apple will have to allow installing other app stores (only 15 years after Android) thanks to EU regulation.
        Linux allowed all that long before app stores were a thing.

        Steam, GOG, the Epic Store, and a bunch of “stores” work on the same concept. Do you balk at those too?
