I have an alternative: just use Windows 7. No problem. No ad. No Linux Terminal scary. All program works. Do the needful, switch now.

Not all programs work, And in Linux you can forget the terminal with the stores that use flathub, much easier and safer than the shitty exe/MSI installers.

Who would want an app store on their desktop? Are you 12 and only ever used a smartphone?

I fucking don't, I use yay or whatever, I'm talking about you, if you really don't want to see the terminal there is the app store that uses flathub in any pre-configured DE for linux

Glad you found something that works for you!

I'm old school haha I just download programs from the internet myself, they either come as zips or exes and they install directly on my computer without any issues. No terminus, app stores, etc. and no problems!

Why not? They're convenient and don't require the use of a terminal

Naw that's okay for like a telephone where you just want like a calculator or some shit but on a desktop you go to Google and just find the program website and download it

Enjoy your security vulnerabilities.

Common Sense™️ 2023 Edition is free

Common sense won't protect you against vulnerabilities like remote code executions. And keep in mind that we still use our common sense even if we use up to date softwares.

Remind me when EOL was

It does. Most softwares don't update for it now and security patches are stopped.
