It’s that easy on Windows as well, depending on the package manager you prefer the commands are
Winget (native)
Chocolatey (third party)
Winget is awesome! It's nice to see Microsoft finally focusing on adding basic quality-of-life features to their OS. First there was Windows Terminal, then proper bash support with WSL, and now package management with Winget! To be fair, it's not 100% there yet. Tried installing ffmpeg with winget recently, and it took like three times longer than apt-get would have. But hey, better than downloading EXE's from some random website. Really excited for what they'll add next. Who knows, maybe Windows will finally be a viable desktop OS some day!
I prefer my pacman being able to cd to a directory and install there rather than winget’s “-location direct path” but yeah Linux is faster and better for tech illiterate people like myself
For real tho, I could never come up with a good reason why I choose Linux over windows. But recently I tried Windows 11, and that finally made me understand. What are sticky keys? Why are you telling me the exchange rate of EUR to USD right now? Why do I need to put
.\in front of my username when signing in? Why can't you just tell me that you want TPM and UEFI boot enabled instead of cryptically saying that my hardware is incompatible even though it is? There's just too much crap going on for a dumb fuck like me to understand. I would like one boring linux desktop experience that hasn't changed since 2003 please.
