Linux users install chrome now...?
Well they already had firefox installed it seems
Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.
Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.
Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
But... Firefox is always already installed.
Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium
Use Firefox, not Chromium
Use whatever you like. Circlejacking this comment everywhere will not increase Firefox marketshare.
Typical Gnome user.

Literally no Linux user ever....
I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

They already have that, as you can see in the clip.
Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?
Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF
These days I wouldn't dare to even chrome my windows.
Chrome is literally the same shit as Chromium but with (more) spyware. Like, there are no other added features. And some people still choose to download Chrome. WHY!?!?!?

Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.
Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?
It's a parody of stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.
Use the app store like you do on your phone
And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!
Literally Firefox in the dock...
We found the imposter!
Great, you can accomplish the bare essentials with Linux.
Now how do I install a program called chirp for programming 2 way radios?
Searched for a week and gave up as each set of instructions lead down a broken, redundant dependency rabbit hole with no solution in sight, Flatpack this, snap that, no explanation or even a searchable clue that could begin me a solution.
In windows I just unzip the nightly build to a directory of my choice, run the executable and it works.
Sure... Not everyone knows or needs to know about these edge case applications, but point stands, it works in windows, and everyone encounters an edge case sooner or later.
I'm keen to ditch the Microsoft hole, and I have no issue with making an effort to learn, but I can't afford to or my life in hold for hours or days at a time in order to accomplish things that already work in seconds.
I think my simple issue here is... I'm not incompetent. I can comfortably navigate a fine system in a shell, can mount and unmount, can tar -xvzf a tarball, can do most things up to writing a shell script from scratch (could cobble something
yay -S chirp-next worked with zero rabbit holes, and chirp-next worked immediately.
wine ./chirpwx.exe
I just installed chirp on my Linux Mint machine from the GUI package manager. It's packaged as a .deb file. Don't know what your issue is.
