I'll admit Linux users are more allergic to GUI's than they need to be, but if snowflakeOS becomes more mature then I'd consider an app store much more intuitive and secure than arbitrary full system access.
Cause realistically we could start throwing ads in the system to really make windows users feel at home, but (like the mess that is windows dependencies) tradition can be a weakness more than a strength.
Reboot, click the previous generation on the grub screen.
Babey I couldnt get enough of nixos if I lived a million years
I think youre misrepresenting what Linux is supposed to be, it runs most Walmart displays, kiosks, medical systems, and servers.
Its just now branching into a more usable desktop environment, but its going to do this the right way.
As time as shown is the windows way is incredibly bloated and unstable - I wouldn't dream of running a critical server off of it, nor even a non-critical one like radarr. Undocumented issues are just part of the game in the windows world.
Taking the easy route will kinda by definition be easier at first.
Though ngl I find it incredibly easier to enter
nix-shell -p radarr
than to navigate to a webpage, download and install an arbitrary executable, give it absolute admin privellages to the ebtirety of my computer to let it 'do its thing' for a bit, and be SOL if that doesnt all go perfectly.
Looks like a one click install on nixos - so youre right to say its fucked on Debian, but that hardly represents the whole OS (like my god you want to hate Linux try LFS and claim it represents the OS).
The way I see it the biggest fragmentation is just users expecting things to work like windows, ie navigating to a website, downloading the software and running it.
Usually Linux users just search their package repo. If you want more bleeding edge software, youre expected to understand Debian/Ubuntu repos probably aren't the place to go.
Can't really blame the wrench youre using to put in a screw for doing a bad job.
No balls go tell your employer Hitler was right and you personally fucked a dog last night.
Trust me bro these words won't hurt you, their kinetic energy is like in the milijoules at worst.
Looks pretty AI to me
Til a judge 'interprets' that as being specifically about a company named TiVo or invalidates it in the supreme court.
Yk back in my day it was even unthinkable to have a president decide your gender for you, the precedent already being created is insane.
They're american, they'd just pick one rich guy to 'own' all Foss projects and make it freenium within a year
So your threat model is state level hackers?
On desktop PC's?
Any malicious actor in the universe would love to be able to make a bot net out of 90% of the worlds computers, doesn't make it any less plausible out of movies
Root access on any of these platforms would still result in persistent low level system access
Jesus H Christ youre running your browser as root?
Unless you mean an oceans 11-esque double zero-day exploit that jacks the userspace browser, stacked on a root-level privilege escalation zero-day on arguably the most secure OS in the world.
I think we have insanely different threat models
Nix package manager can be installed on (almost) any distro, I'm running it in an android termux right now for example. Side note if you want a fun project for an old phone you could probably run radarr this way, I'm using it for Garage s3 storage.
Without diving into the juicy details too much, the command does temporarily install it - in a way that its essentially free to reinstall anytime. For permanent setups you just have to add it to a text file, that could use a bit of a face life to be honest. Though comparitevly this would be trivial to implement vs the meat of the package manager itself
