When I got fed up with windows 8.1 (and windows update bricked it), I first used ubuntu. How well or not it worked depended on the version. In version 19 it got some ugly white message boxes. I searched for how to change their color and found an angry dev saying no you cant change that. This was the final bullshit. Then I switched to arch, which lets me choose how my stuff looks and doesn’t have the whole 3/4 versions are buggy thing. It works and ubuntu does not.

Just go to the package manager, type in the name of the program, install.
That’s easier than on windows: go to the browser, search for the program, avoid the ads, search for the download button, follow the install wizard, avoid the toolbar
I wonder why they don’t just stuff them inside, like an appimage, so I can see the size when I download the program
without having to have a cutting edge rolling release distro
Oh, that explains why they’re completely bloated & useless to me. Arch btw
Idk how, but one time I tried installing something as a flatpak and it took like 300+MB and a very long time. I figured something was wrong, found a way to install it normally and it took like 10MB and installed quickly. Idk what went wrong, but I’ll never touch this garbage again
Edit: oh they’re not for arch. Maybe they should have told me before the 300mb slog
But arch is less work, not more
Ubuntu = breaking update every 2 years
Arch = breaking update never
