Really? First time I did it, it kept giving me an error. Did it a few times and couldn’t figure it out. Then I asked the community and the community laughed at me for not knowing sudo. WTF is sudo?!?!
OK fine. I got it working. Wait, why doesn’t it auto update? Why do I need to constantly remind myself to update the software… in terminal???
I’m not even a normie. But the toxic elitist community and the terminal requirement is just a dead end for most people.
I admit I also avoid the terminal as much as I can, but it is convenient when installing multiple programs for example. when something requires anything else than just adding the repo and then sudo apt install program, usually I run into some errors too and I can’t figure it out. the only thing I use it for in a new install is installing all the apps I need, and setting up smb share.
the updating thing then, in linux your programs are updated with the system update manager. you can automate it too.
one annoying thing I have to deal with is that mullvad vpn app needs a repository but it’s not supported by mint, so to update it, I have to manually download it from their website… other than mullvad, I just avoid programs that make it too difficult to install.
you literally just need to copy and paste the commands 🤣
