@itsfoss Uh, you guys do realize that things like Flatpak are, either deliberately or by sheer luck, made for normie users & other people who don't want to & also shouldn't have to use Terminal, ever, right...?
I'll be blunt: Until it's more normal/accepted to provide a solution with a UI than just a few lines of terminal commands, #Linux is not mature enough to be considered a viable replacement for Big Tech.

@jwcph @itsfoss Flatpak isn't really primarily about providing a GUI at all. Its main purpose is to provide software that can run independently of what libraries are installed on your distro and to decouple them from the main package manager.
I'll also be blunt. The more you resist stepping out of your comfort zone the more you will stay stuck in it forever, all the bullshit included. Refusing to learn how to deal with the terminal and then complaining that Linux isn't "mature" is just kinda silly. If you want a windows alternative, make an effort to learn how to use the alternative. Complaining that not everything works exactly the same way it does on corpo software is exactly how you get stuck with corpo software.
If you wanna seriously use Linux, you will sooner or later run into the terminal in some way, deal with it. Nobody is gonna bother making a GUI for every tiny niche thing, just because you can't be bothered to spend ten seconds typing some letters that do exactly what you want already.
