    Linux users install chrome now...?

    [–] [email protected] 149 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Well they already had firefox installed it seems

    Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.

    Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.

    Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

    Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.

    [–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Imagination? That's bloat.

    it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

    But... Firefox is always already installed.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

    Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

    Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

    [–] [email protected] 67 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Use Firefox, not Chromium

    Literally no Linux user ever....

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (12 children)

    I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

    Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?

    [–] [email protected] 51 points 10 months ago

    Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.

    [–] [email protected] 50 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Chrome is literally the same shit as Chromium but with (more) spyware. Like, there are no other added features. And some people still choose to download Chrome. WHY!?!?!?

    Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

    I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.

    Use the app store like you do on your phone

    And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".

    🤷
