Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.
Imagination? That’s bloat.
Just use lynx
Nyxt ftw
I grew up with w3m, but I like your style
For a moment I thought you said “LyX” and I was like: you use a LaTeX editor for browsing?
Lynx rules btw 👍
spoke like a true veteran
Linux users install chrome now…?
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.
Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.
Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.
The problem would be that graphical UIs can look very different. Each distro with all their supported desktops would require documentation. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a short introductory documentation for people who have no clue about linux. Debian claims to be the “universal operating system”, but new users are usually directed towards Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS, but why? There’s a possibility here.
Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though
it’s always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download
But… Firefox is always already installed.
Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy
Nobara came with Firefox, do most distros not?
Does nobara still include Firefox? They moved to chromium as the default browser in 39 because kiosk mode in Firefox is Bork’d
The GIF shows a system where generally speaking this is not required (it could have been Firefox instead of Chrome).
Ok but the joke is that you install Chrome just to install Firefox then uninstall Chrome…
Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.
Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?
Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF
These days I wouldn’t dare to even chrome my windows.
Pineapple is delicious on pizza thank you.
sudo apt install firefox
This guy has super cow powers.
That would be sudo apt install cowsay
apt install ‘WTF IS THIS SHIT?’
apt-get
Edit: huh, I’m old school I guess, this is from debian docs:
apt(8) for all interactive command line operations, including package installation, removal and dist-upgrades.
apt-get(8) for calling Debian package management system from scripts. It is also a fallback option when apt is not available (often with older Debian systems).
Not in years, by now.
chrome?
Yeah the mouse just passed over Firefox.
And that’s the SLOW way!
The correct way is:
sudo pacman -S chromium sudo pacman -Rs chromium sudo pacman -S firefoxExactly
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!
Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.
21 minutes. Mother of God.
and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don’t work
s/browser/spyware/pacman -Sy waterfox
