You genuinely think it's faster to make a Web query, wait for search results to show up, click and wait for the correct webpage to load, navigate to the download page, download the exe, run the exe and go through the pop up menu than it is to type apt install x?

Yeah because I'd have to Google how to install X on Linux so I'd be stuck reading till I found the command. You don't just guess what X is you either know or you gotta look it up. Most people are used to windows and it's fine. Linux people that hate windows are just weird...they all do cool things but y'all crazy if you think 95% of people will be faster on Linux in the current state of the world. We have all been using Windows for 30 years.
