I'm trying to be the devil's advocate here: one could say that one is an innocent "life" while the other is not.

What?? I meant what search engine are you using?

What are you using?

I checked Kagi and i was very curious but 5$ a month?? For a search engine? For a limited number of searches?

No, i don't

You’re a moron if you think that Trump and Harris are the same on Palestine

The real moron is you thinking things will change under Harris. Sorry.

Nope, not what i said. On the Israel-Palestine issue Harris and Trump are the exact same. Harris should better focus on other issues bacause no one is going to be fooled by her words (hopefully).

That MSN article is 10 months old. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-us-military-spending-8e6e5033f7a1334bf6e35f86e7040e14

Do you really think the Biden administration is somehow preventing or limiting the ongoing genocide? Israel already have carte blanche. All i hear from Harris is empty words. Israel is already doing whatever they want, they're even firing on UN peacekeepers. Harris or Trump nothing is going to change. Israel will remain unpunished. Do you know how things can change? Pull the fucking plug. Turn your back on that nazi state, let them perish. Harris should focus on other problems because people with a functioning brain are not going to believe her bullshit. 40000 dead but their goal is to protect civilians but they sent 18B in military aid in one year. How can someone be fooled by that?

Oh, sorry. I don't care about downvotes. I'm glad they read it but didn't have anything to respond to it.

The Talos Principle

You mean you don’t understand the lovers, right? In the end it’s always a matter of “who’s the least worse”. Harris is, by far, but in the end certain things will never change. Will Harris be brave to turn her back on Israel? Never. A lot of empty words have been said on the matter but facts speak louder than words. US can’t afford to lose their proxy in the middle east. Israel will continue to be unpunished and funded for years to come. How much money did they send to Israel in the last year? Read about 18 billions, or something like that. But they built the pier in Gaza for humanitarian actions. LOL. It’s like throwing a dollar to a person you’re helping beating up.

0 fucks given about Palestine

Always has been.

Weird, that used to work last I used Debian based with KDE

It was Debian with xfce.

For the time being, yes

Wasn't this the OS of freedom? Hmmm

But you don’t, so you shouldn’t try to install stuff manually

I tried to install ISO image writer on Ubuntu, on my laptop. Went straight to the package manager, no terminal bullshit, downloaded it, open button is greyed out. Fantastic. Stable version btw. Solved by uninstalling and installing another version available on the manager. Linux is literally problems after problems after problems.

install an APK

Like, download the APK, enable Unknown sources, tap on the icon? I don't use android since 2017 but i'm pretty sure is the same, isn't it? Not an happy comparison.

When i want to uninstall and app and all the dependencies connected to it (autoremove, right?) is Linux able to tell if some of those dependencies are necessary for other apps and "whitelist" them?

I don't know man, i don't care anymore. It worked in Ubuntu, it didn't on Debian.

Yeah, totally not for me, for now. I couldn't resist in that hell for more than 3 days.

Mistake number 1, Debian is not beginner friendly.

If i got a beginner friendly distro how will i learn how to use linux properly?

if it’s not in the package manager it’s too advanced for you for the time being

So if an app is not a package manager i'm fucked?

You could have also double clicked the Deb file

I tried, it did nothing, i went online to search for a solution.

which you could manually install

This is mental. This shouldn't be a thing even for pros. I need 15 minutes to install an app? Sorry i won't go out this evening, i need to install an app and god knows what can happen.

You might be thinking this is stupid

Well, yes, of course. Also i read some contradictions in your post: the installer only installs what is supposed to, but it needs dependencies to actually make the app usable. But that's what package managers do, right? Different apps could use the same libraries but also different ones, so the system could become bloated nonetheless. I don't see how is this beneficial for the user.

the majority of issues you encountered were self-imposed.

How? I’ve installed Debian with KDE, downloaded the .deb from steam website, learnt to install that using sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb, opened the app and i’ve been welcomed with a text inviting me to press enter to continue, pretty simple. The program downloaded stuff, steam is ready now. Not bad. Repeated the exact same thing on Debian with xfce, that apparently doesn’t come with a software installer, nothing works. An alert says i need to download dependencies (i know dpkg doesn’t resolve dependencies). Where’s the “enter to continue”? How is this my fault??

I won’t choose any distro. I chose to stick with windows. I spent 1,5 hours setting EVERYTHING UP. Apps, accounts, settings, everything. I spent the exact same trying to figure out why the fuck steam is not automatically downloading dependencies as it did on my laptop and didn’t even get an answer.

I’ve never, ever got a virus on any of my pcs. I grew up with internet, since the ADSL days, i know my shit.

Some of the apps i use are very important to me and some of them don’t have packages so i had to rely on commands in the terminal.

I was not expecting any help actually. The amount of problems i encountered is too much. The past 3 days dealing with linux have been extremely stressful. No wonder linux is still super niche. I can fairly say that i’ve been reckless going for non beginners distros but linux has problems, huge problems.
