It’s easier to disable all the garbage than remove the garbage?

    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

    Right so someone should uproot their entire workflow to use something inferior. Ok. People don’t shell out hundreds of dollars per year for fun.

    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.

      It is miniscule, objectively. Generously, less than 2% of personal computer users have an Adobe license. The alternatives aren’t inferior, in fact in some cases (blender, DaVinci Resolve), the “alternative” I listed is actually the industry standard used instead of the comparable Adobe product. There are multiple ways to make it easier to transition away from Adobe products, and you keep just conveniently ignoring the fact that cloud versions of most Adobe products are available. It’s a bad example, and does nothing for the argument you’re trying to make.

      Can you share some distros/package managers that don’t have a GUI available? You originally claimed there were distros where a graphical package manager wasn’t an option. Are you walking that back now, or can you actually substantiate that claim?

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

      I’m sorry you found Nobara’s package management tools confusing. Is that the experience you’re basing this whole opinion on?
