It's clear you haven't used linux.

Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.

Linux: open package manager, search package you want, click install, open program.

You seem rather fixated on Edge, unlike anyone who's ever used Windows.

And once you've done it once, you can install it again on another machine by just using

Linux: $PACKAGE_MANAGER install $PACKAGE, open program.

Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.

Why go for the bootleg Linux when you can get the actual one?

I have, quite a bit: Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, Debian. Not everything is in your precious package manager

You'll never convince the zealots who believe sun shines out of Torvalds' asshole.

Their lack of self-awareness makes me laugh, that's all it is
