This guy has super cow powers.
That would be sudo apt install cowsay
Literally Firefox in the dock...
s/browser/spyware/
no, no, no its too easy, Wheres the terminals? and the long compile time.
(this post was written partially from and intel compute stick running gentoo, which started compiling 7hours ago and still is)
mmmm tasty 2GB of ram
- Spend three days downloading and trying it distros
- Pick arch
- Sudo pacman install tmux, htop, {emacs, vim, nvim depending on your alignment}
- Get your tmux and editor configs just right
- Get into an argument on the "Discussion" section of Arch Wiki about your tmux hot keys
- 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)
- Pacman install Firefox
Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF
These days I wouldn't dare to even chrome my windows.
Pineapple is delicious on pizza thank you.
Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.
I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.
Use the app store like you do on your phone
And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".
🤷

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?
Installed Chrome via GUI
Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!
We found the imposter!
pacman -Sy waterfox
it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
But... Firefox is always already installed.
Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?
Does nobara still include Firefox? They moved to chromium as the default browser in 39 because kiosk mode in Firefox is Bork'd
The GIF shows a system where generally speaking this is not required (it could have been Firefox instead of Chrome).
Ok but the joke is that you install Chrome just to install Firefox then uninstall Chrome....
Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy
apt install 'WTF IS THIS SHIT?'
apt-get
Edit: huh, I'm old school I guess, this is from debian docs:
apt(8) for all interactive command line operations, including package installation, removal and dist-upgrades.
apt-get(8) for calling Debian package management system from scripts. It is also a fallback option when apt is not available (often with older Debian systems).
Not in years, by now.
Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?
And that's the SLOW way!
The correct way is:
sudo pacman -S chromium
sudo pacman -Rs chromium
sudo pacman -S firefox
Exactly
Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.
21 minutes. Mother of God.
and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don't work
chrome?
Yeah the mouse just passed over Firefox.
Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.
Imagination? That's bloat.
Just use lynx
For a moment I thought you said "LyX" and I was like: you use a LaTeX editor for browsing?
Lynx rules btw 👍
Nyxt ftw
I grew up with w3m, but I like your style
