Linux:

User: Can you install this 50 year old program?

Linux: it's already installed

[–] dustojnikhummer 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No you can't because the dependency doesn't exit anymore.

Then compile it from the sources

Have you heard to Good Word of our Lord and Savior, AppImage?

[–] dustojnikhummer 1 points 1 year ago

Well given most diehard Linux fanboys despise any sort of containerized apps, aka AppImage, Flatpak or Snap (I personally only despise Snap), I'm going to say no.

Grep is from 1973 so yeah.

User: Linux can you install this software from this ancient obscure operating system?

Tfw compatibility for some old Windows programs and games is better in Wine than in modern Windows

The sad thing is that its not entirely true. The kernel Fries to keep conpability but user space fucks it up sometimes for example glibc

Most people will need internet connection to Google specific commands to run or install the most trivial things, and it won't always work depending on what distro you're using. Oh you're using MX Linux? Goodluck downloading a Plex client installer and just clicking it to install. Maybe use Snap but then good luck creating a shortcut with just a right click.

Limux won't replace Windows anytime soon, not if even enthusiasts need to Google almost everything.

Bold of you to think I'd install a Plex client when I can just stream video in my terminal with mplayer in glorious ASCII.

And why would you search the internet when there's a manual built right in?
