    55 clicks because you exxagurated commands as well

    Actually, open chrome and downloading the exe installer itself takes almost 10clicks + typing the search query. Then clicks to go to downloads, double clicking the exe, the wizard appears. Now the wizards for apps might differ but on average you may have to select some options, maybe select install directory, then click next, next,next, install

    Wait untill installed

    Click finish.

    This is more tiresome than opening store, searching app, click install

    Or alternatively sudo apt install wine

      Or just install Wine from the software update app. Or just let Lutris handle your Wine installation and configuration.

        What’s unintuitive about sudo apt install wine?

        • sudo - equivalent to right clicking and running as administrator
        • apt - just an abbreviation of Advanced Package Tool, but this is almost rarely seen without install, remove, update, or upgrade after it so most beginners think of apt install as one part
        • install - self-explanatory
        • wine - the name of what you want to install

         

        -git sudo 82737492 dor kror o k /87 +91 ||qidl

        This is an invalid command, but nice try.

          What’s unintuitive about sudo apt install wine?

          In the interest of fairness, maybe the first time you ever do it, yeah, I can see it as someone completely new to this thinking it’s black magic (heck, I’ve used Linux as my daily OS for a while and some of the things users are able to do with their skills, i describe as black magic lol). After a while tho, it becomes no big deal, and the user might even prefer doing it that way because it’s quicker (IMO) to que up a buncha packages to install one after the other vs hunting them all down and installing one by one. But yeah, point is, it can look unintuitive if you’re new to it…but once you’re used to seeing it, it’s like “ah, ok, it’s just another way to do things”

          And there also nothing really stopping you from installing stuff the ol Windows way, if that’s how you prefer to do things. Just open your package manager and look up what ya need. Or even open your browser and go to the offical site, they might also have official packages to download.

          Either way is valid and up to the user’s prefrences. Never understood why both sides sometimes make it sound as if there’s only one way to install stuff on Linux (not saying you’re doing that here specifically, to be clear, but I’ve seen others do so. The other person kinda is tho).
