Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

    Agreed. Try using apt install program name, not found. Search Google “how to download program name on Linux”. Get told you first have to add these 3 different repos or whatever in the terminal, then type in this command to download it. Why do I need to Google HOW to download a program? Nothing is ever simple with Linux. It’s absolute bollocks in that regard.

      The sad part is that it used to be simple. You could do apt install whatever and it would usually get it.

      They also used to have a graphical frontend for apt, which felt like an app store before app stores (and even the iPhone itself) existed.

      I suspect it’ll get simple again. If canonical doesn’t do it, some other distro will overtake it.
