This is how software installation should work on every platform. No installers, no uninstallers, no registry, no complicated package managers. Just everything contained in one file that you can freely put wherever you want and delete when you want to get rid of the app. It literally Just Works™.

How is "apt install shit" complicated?

>>106164107 (OP)
Now show us how easy it is to launch it without the OS checking with apples servers first jay

>>106164107 (OP)
Illuminate me, anon. How does the system you present deals with shared dependencies and their security updates?

>>106164184
Package managers suck for mainstream applications. Apple & their developers got this right.

>>106164203
If it's a signed app, you just need to click a button the first time you open it. If it's unsigned, you only need to open system preferences and click through 2 dialogs and it will never bother you again.

>>106164203
>option+doubleclick
wow, incredibly hard anon i'm so sorry your keyboard fingers don't work.

>>106164240
>shared dependencies
That's bad design. Every app should include all its dependencies inside the app bundle.

>>106164203
Open Terminal, do this:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/(app).app

Voila, nigger

You thinking you know better than everyone else and should get to dictate how they use their computer is why nobody uses your toy OS

when I was trying out mac os for the first time and it was the time to install my first program and I was greeted with this drag and drop shit

I genuinely stared at it and had no idea what to do. I believe it looked something like picrel. It is not intuitive in any way, it's retarded.

tell me anon, if i ask you to visualize an apple, are you able to? How would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast?

>>106165085
Apple invented the entire graphical user interface paradigm 40 years ago and this is how applications were always installed from the very beginning. Everything else that came after was an inferior knockoff that never managed to copy this feature.

an arrow pointing from an icon to an icon somehow tells me to drag and drop the first icon onto the second one? why is it here in the first place anyway? I already decided I want to install the software, this method of confirmation is pointless

also what's up with those questions?

can someone explain to me why millennials go ape shit over "docker?"

>>106165165
How do some of you people remember to breathe? What, did you think it was telling you to drive to the applications folder like a google map?

>>106165351
no, I thought I was using a computer, not an ipad

>>106164139
Drag and dropping is not an accessible gesture no

it runs the installer silently when you run the launcher the first time and never actually deletes the slop from your computer when you "uninstall" it

>>106165050
so its not drag and drop like the other iRetard said >>106164139

>>106165984
>it runs the installer silently when you run the launcher the first time
desu that's how it should be, that part makes sense
>and never actually deletes the slop from your computer when you "uninstall" it
this part doesn't. Deleting the .app should trigger some uninstall hook to automatically delete certain folders with the ability to ask the user whether they should be deleted.

Then installing software on macOS would be perfect.

>>106165554
Yes. You can press each key one at a time with as much delay as you need with any pointing tool you are capable of using.

>>106164107 (OP)
i've never understood this. it's just a cute little ritual, right? why? by the time this window appears, the system already knows you are trying to install it, so it may as well just have installed it in the time it took to draw the window.

>>106164292
usecase for bloat?

>>106164107 (OP)
install gentoo

>>106164203
why would you want to do that?

>>106166009
>desu that's how it should be, that part makes sense

fake filesystems and hidden maintenance hooks allowed to fail silently
fake directory views programmed into the file manager
programs that pretend to be self contained and portable when they arent

what a bunch of bloat and jank

AppImages and XDG_*_HOME directories (known places for the user files emitted by the program) are saner

>>106166210
>XDG_*_HOME directories (known places for the user files emitted by the program) are saner
That's ~/Library/Application Support/

>>106164107 (OP)
why do they make you do this indian humiliation ritual when a simple "Yes, I want to install" button works just as fine?
