I dunno. If it accomplishes the goal and there’s not a better option…?

I’m skeptical that it does accomplish the goal though.

I think they did and do intend to do it. They’re just too dumb to figure it out, and have their hands in too many other pots.

Yeah, but I mean there’s “you shouldn’t use this because Meta is bad” and then there’s “no one wants to use this because it is, on a fundamental level, an incredibly stupid idea and I can’t believe anyone thought this would ever catch on.”

That’s not the problem. Ford sells 50 and $70k pickup trucks all day but the buyers of those vehicles are part of a tribe that’s tribally opposed to clean vehicles.

Educational stations don’t seem like a great place to find music.

So you’re reduced to playing semantic games and trying to claim I’m a liar.

I’m not playing games. It’s not an objective word. You’re making shit up.

You’re continuing to mischaracterize the difficulty involved in installing things on a Linux system.

You’re evidently walking back your claim that there are distros/package managers that lack a graphical package manager.

Brother, you already answered your own question in the same comment where you asked for it. I’m not sure what you’re looking for here.

And you continue to stubbornly refuse to elaborate any of your points unless I pull it out of you.

You’ve already demonstrated in your own comments what I said previously: You already know what the issues are, you just refuse to acknowledge them as issues.

And so it begins. This was always the plan with the federal invasions. He wants to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare Martial Law, and cancel the elections.

So predictable.

It is miniscule, objectively.

If it was “objective” you could point to a number. “Miniscule” is simply not an objective word. Lying again. 2% is not miniscule.

The alternatives aren’t inferior

If they weren’t inferior no one would be paying hundreds of dollars a month for Adobe.

DaVinci Resolve

LOL have you ever tried to install this on Linux? It’s an absolute nightmare. But it is a great example of yet another piece of software that’s not installable from a package manager so thanks for elaborating on my point.

Can you share some distros/package managers that don’t have a GUI available?

We’ve already had this discussion…

Can you share some distros intended for desktop use that don’t come with a graphical package manager?

Is Arch not intended for desktop use?

Is that the experience you’re basing this whole opinion on?

No.

Seems like an overpriced, irreparable, unupgradeable, and disposable tool would be the wrong tool but what do I know.

…they wrote on SubStack

Would have been more helpful if they included contact info.

It’s like she said, they’re extraordinary claims. And I think if there was a shred of legitimacy they’d be doing everything they could to verify them. But I’ve seen nothing.

Sure hope they’re legit, because that would be the death of ICE.

They’re not “muscled”. Lara can’t do anything about her height anymore than you can. She’s not a gymnast.

Which frequencies don’t have advertising?

the number of people that actually require an Adobe product is miniscule compared to the number of PC users, so it’s an extreme edge case

1. It is not miniscule.
2. It’s called an example.

Alternatives like…exist

Those are simply not an option for actual professionals. There are expectations in film and photo industries.

Can you share some distros/package managers that don’t have a GUI available?

Hell, even Arch has options for graphical package managers

Every distro has “options” for everything. If they don’t come packaged with the installer then what point do they serve? How are you going to install it? You’re answering your own questions and yet still unable to understand what the problem is.

I have Nobara installed on another desktop. I forget what the package manager GUI on that one is called, but it was very similarly easy to use

Nobara is the one I was referring to with multiple package managers that were completely unintuitive, had constant update notifications, and eventually broke my install.

They all have their drawbacks. If I could install MacOS on my laptop I would. But you can only install it on overpriced, irreparable, disposable hardware.

Uhhh well there are very large strings in the form of rampant advertising and proximity…

Well they sell a N150 “development board” as well that has dual SATA. You can 3D print a case if necessary.

I control what I can and avoid the rest. I spend more time outdoors, completely disconnected these days, though I recognize that’s a privilege everyone is not able to enjoy.

It is that easy…if that program is in your repository. If Adobe products are in your package manager, please share with the class, because we’d all love to see it.

And if your distro even has a graphical package manager (and only 1 of them), especially an easy to use one. Many times it either isn’t in there or doesn’t even exist for Linux.

Again, there’s no way you’ve actually used Linux and don’t know this. That’s how I know you’re lying.

Go back and answer my question, you don’t get to dodge that just to stir up more BS here.

I’ve played the games. You should try having a look at a female acrobat.
