Thread 107094551

You're not still downloading software the old fashioned way, right /g/ents?

>>107094551 (OP)
Of course not. I switched to rpm in like 1999 and then deb in 2004.

>have to use the windows store
kek, microshill is so sad

>package manager
>"UHHH CHUD, ERROR, YOU HAVE HELD BROKEN PACKAGES, PLEASE RECOMPILE GENTOO!"

choco

stop infecting windows with linux shit

>>107094551 (OP)
If you are willing to use a package manager on windows and didn't have one already, you're retarded.

>>107094594
w choco jest spoko

>>107094598
Lol winjeet is adopting every shit part of linux and none of the good stuff

>>107094551 (OP)
Buy an ad

>>107094592
it's really embarrassing when someone who has clearly never used linux before tries to make disparaging comments.

>>107094592
lmao do troonix tards really do shit like this? Why don't they just use a mac?

>>107094551 (OP)
Winget in the terminal sucks big floppy donkey dick.

>>107094792
Don't listen to the shills, retard.

>>107094792
Yes, they do, anon. Instead of installing software like grownups, they type frantically in their little terminals, praying to RMS that their hobbyOS will not get upset and poopoo itself. They make their lives more difficult on purpose - so they can feel like big boy hackers from movies. Every linuxoid feels like Neo when he successfully updates his text editor.

Winget is actually pretty fucking based ngl

30 years later...

>>107094935
use case for hevc?

package managers are the asshats of the software world as are most apps

>>107094551 (OP)
I will never use any Windows more recent than 7, and it can't access the Microsoft Store.
Also, a big FUCK YOU to app stores anyway.
What they are trying to do is closing down Windows like iOS.

it fucking sucks it spawns windows you have to click through you can't run update all and go take a shit

flathub clients and aur >>> downloading random shit off websites on windows

>>107094594
chocolatey gui. mostly just werks

>>107094855
Tell me about it, pales in comparison to what is done in *nix land.

>>107095502
Should have stuck with XP, the only true feature complete windows!

>>107094551 (OP)
I have my collection of portable apps. Installers are an outdated way of running applications.

>>107095429
when you really want to wire bill gates $0.99 + tax

winget is very convenient for me

And this windows package manager has repo's?

>>107096589
Looks like you can add other repos not just Microsoft’s, https://www.rimo3.com/blog/demystifying-winget-understanding-security-sources-and-comparisons

>>107096420
but the portable apps are fine tuned for someone elses system. The installer converts them to run seamlessly on yours.

>>107097037
Never had a problem with basic software and the performance was always identical. Only complex software may break on newer versions of windblows like ms office for example. My philosophy is simplicity and if something doesn't work well as a portable I simply replace it with better software that just works.

>>107094551 (OP)
>if you use windows like linux then its better
oops

>>107094935
Afaik there's a way to install it through the store without paying anything.

>>107094551 (OP)
i don't know where they found the tards who write these xda articles, but if you read an xda article do the opposite. i blocked the site on my news feed.

do loonix users not have a folder with installers?

>>107094655
Niebieska tablica!

>>107094683
what good stuff?

>>107094935
if you are on winjeet, just:
>winget install -e --id CodecGuide.K-LiteCodecPack.Mega

>>107094905
>Winget is actually pretty fucking based ngl
lol, lmao even brew for mac is better... have you ever used winget upgrade --all, so nice with all the admin pop uos on every "updated" app, which is actually just a reinstall.

i haven't managed windows for other users in a very long time. what happened to chocolatey?

Linux doesnt need to use the terminal, we have GUI app stores now that just werk

STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADIN!

>>107094551 (OP)
>literally no one mentions the fact that most if not all package managers literally download stuff from "websites".

>>107098522
You've really disappointed Terry, anon. CLI is the way it should be. Also, I'm looking forward to the neo-electronic amishcore y2k creed that'll pop off in the next few years.

>>107094573
They're talking about Winget

Only good package manager is Homebrew on Mac. Everything else sucks.
>pulls in outdated version
>dumps it in some arbitrary hidden directory somewhere, good luck finding it, maybe it's in %appdata%\roaming, maybe not, fuck you
>hope you wanted the default changed because it just happened
>*after 5 minutes of downloading dependencies* oops looks like I have to abort now, maybe there's a log to explain why I just wasted 5 minutes of your life, good luck finding it

>>107094935
Explain exactly why this is bad without sounding like a tech illiterate incel

>>107094551 (OP)
>you must use tranny middleman service that will dictate what kind of software you might use.
Yeah, no thanks.

>>107094551 (OP)
xda is garbage.

>>107094551 (OP)
Can it install Windows 7?

>>107094551 (OP)
I am. When the software can update itself, why wouldn't I?

>>107094551 (OP)
as a genuine oldfag its funny how we've transition from command line being the standard, to gui/wizards being standard, and now all the nerds are going back to command line because LOL theres so much fucking bloat these days

this world doesn't deserve technology

Not a problem on openbsd

>>107094935
k lite site has a link to download microsoft codec for free

aren't the windows "package managers" just downloading the exe from the manufacturer's website and installing it? doesn't sound like a package manager for me

>>107094594
Used to use this, then scoop, now I guess winget is enough. They're not package managers but command line installers tough.

>>107098346
>what happened to chocolatey
It was never good, just usable. Now there's just better options even preinstalled.

>>107096521

americucks

I use pacman on Msys2

>aren't the windows "package managers" just downloading the exe from the manufacturer's website and installing it?
yes
>doesn't sound like a package manager for me
it pretends to be one using your installed programs list. basically moving install/unistall from a gui to a cli. it's cringe.

>>107094551 (OP)
>Microjeet is enshittifying windows by making it more like Linux
yeah, we get it. windows 7 is the last real windows. everything after it is just pajeets copypasting ideas from linux and "embracing" open sores

>make typo
>get virus
No thank you, I think I'll stick downloading exes

>>107094551 (OP)
In what way is having to type 10 lines of code easier than clicking a link?

>>107100265
>paying $0.99+tip for a grain of sand in the desert

>>107094551 (OP)
Package Managers are the worst aspect of Linux and have held the desktop back decades.

>>107098192
Linux shotguns a billion executables and config files throughout your system in a way which makes things impossible to install and uninstall by hand. It's also generally speaking impossible to properly uninstall anything reasonably complex on Linux.
Entire system wipe is necessary.

>>107097037
Literally not true in the slightest.
The only possible gain you could get from an 'installer' is if it compiled the software for your CPU architecture. But nobody does that because compilers are slow, and compilers are slow because LLVM is garbage.

>>107101142
Compilers are slow because retards insist on having one translation unit per source file, so even the smallest C file takes a second to compile and all that time is spent on processing the includes.

Take the .c file include pill.

>>107101170
This is true. Something to note, wildcarding all of your c files into one compiler invocation speeds things up too. Not as much as a single compilation unit, but significantly faster than the cmake bloat of writing out a billion .o files.

>>107094866
Another seething brainlet filtered via the basics of computing

>>107101202
package managers are a ''''solution'''' in search of a problem. They have nothing to do with computing and everything to do with ugly bureaucracy.

>>107094551 (OP)
I Only download apps directly from autodesk and adobe at the time of Windows installation, and then the computer never goes online again and I don’t install any other software. Every six months I fresh reinstall. That’s the only way I let fucking windows run.

>>107101038
At what exactly has Microsoft got to do with the licensing fees of a proprietary patented codec?

>>107098277
This mumbo jumbo makes no fucking sense lintroon, just tell me where I can get the exe

Why do people hate package managers? Most download and install exes do similar things but with more steps on the user's part. Is it the install location/setup wizard stuff?

>>107094551 (OP)
And it's absolute dog shit

>>107101362
They're retarded. They know zero about computing basically. These are the same people who don't understand library dependencies, security, safe uninstall, none of that. All they know is that's what Windows does so it must be correct.

That said Windows package manager sucks.

>>107101210
Words of a complete retard

>>107101137
Lol this retard thinks windows applications are properly uninstalled and also believes it can't be properly uninstalled in Linux. 100% retardation.

>>107101352
