When I got fed up with windows 8.1 (and windows update bricked it), I first used ubuntu. How well or not it worked depended on the version. In version 19 it got some ugly white message boxes. I searched for how to change their color and found an angry dev saying no you cant change that. This was the final bullshit. Then I switched to arch, which lets me choose how my stuff looks and doesn’t have the whole 3/4 versions are buggy thing. It works and ubuntu does not.

Write name of program
Enter
Just go to the package manager, type in the name of the program, install.
That’s easier than on windows: go to the browser, search for the program, avoid the ads, search for the download button, follow the install wizard, avoid the toolbar
I wonder why they don’t just stuff them inside, like an appimage, so I can see the size when I download the program
without having to have a cutting edge rolling release distro
Oh, that explains why they’re completely bloated & useless to me. Arch btw
Idk how, but one time I tried installing something as a flatpak and it took like 300+MB and a very long time. I figured something was wrong, found a way to install it normally and it took like 10MB and installed quickly. Idk what went wrong, but I’ll never touch this garbage again
Edit: oh they’re not for arch. Maybe they should have told me before the 300mb slog

But arch is less work, not more
Ubuntu = breaking update every 2 years
Arch = breaking update never
