To your conscious brain, it might seem like 4 steps. But we are doing a lot more in reality because install process is second nature to us (Because of several years of usage).

If you tell someone who has never used a Windows PC to install a software and my list is more accurate.

winget is everything which Windows fanboys are against. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic (terminals ftw). However, I remember people often smirked about the fact that in Linux you have to type commands to install something and the GUI method is much superior.

The only reason I could not use bazzite was because i was trying to make it into a work PC as well (making/compiling git repos). I could use the built-in distrobox but was becoming a bit of a hassle. So switched to Nobara.

However, bazzite works great on my ROG Ally.

I have been using Nobara and Bazzite, both Fedora spins, and they are working great.

How to install an application on Windows

  • You hear about some application
  • You google the application name
  • You get a bunch of links
  • You click the first one (and hope it's valid and not hijacked by malware ads)
  • You scan the webpage to find the correct download button (and hope it's not an ad link)
  • Download the application
  • Double-click the application.exe
  • Windows UAC pops up which you have to allow
  • Install start and you click next, next, next (You hope the installer does not change your homepage or install some browser toolbar)
  • Installation finished

Windows is so much easier /s

but them all collaborating on a common base project from which they each can still produce their own spin

This is viable because this has already happened in gaming.

Lutris, Heroic, Bottles use this in their backend.

No wonder it was so laggy on Bazzite. So I should download the Windows version, I guess.

"Why don't we build another AI to fix the mistakes?"

I require $100 million funding for this though
