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

    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.

    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.

      So you’re reduced to playing semantic games and trying to claim I’m a liar. 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. Your only example of a desktop distro lacking a graphical package manager out of the box (but still has the ability to install one) is Arch, a niche distro intended for advanced users with Linux experience. And you continue to stubbornly refuse to elaborate any of your points unless I pull it out of you.

      Suffice it to say, I’m not convinced. Have a great day, I’m no longer taking part in this exhausting conversation.

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

        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.
