apt-get, bitches.

And don't forget to close the door on the way out!

The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.

[-] [email protected] 70 points 11 months ago

pre-installed

You don't use Arch, btw

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

You mean "pre-installed with most DEs"...

I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?

But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.

I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output

yay -S firefox

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Firefox is installed by default on my Linux distro, though

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version

sudo pacman -S firefox

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Just casually having Firefox with plugins and settings described in my NixOS config.

Works always the same.

The REAL real wax is brew/Flatpak install Firefox

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Legit me past week, had a misshap and had to reinstall windows, didn't want the millions of installers so I just everything via winget

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Nope, the correct way is sudo xbps-install -Suv firefox.

Scoop is preferred as it provides versioning and user installs compared to winget which are typically machine wide and require administrative roles.

Is this something everyone should know to do? Or just style points for programmers?
