    YES! I fucking hate it. I shouldn’t have to enter code in order to install a program. I want to go to a website and download the software, click install, and have it actually just work.

    I’ve used mint for several years now but it will never be a primary OS die my household because it’s such a hassle to work with.

      You don’t - you just open your distros software manager (which is like an app store) and get all your apps that way.

      Been like this for several years.

      On many popular distros there are graphical apps preinstalled for that. The distribution maintainers have repositories with common packages to make it so that you can open an app store and install programs from one place rather than going to different websites and downloading installers.

      Honestly, I’d rather use terminals to install software. Most of the time, it’s actually far fewer steps than just clicking through several screen on top of having to find the application installation file you downloaded.
