    I have to have a computer science degree to install a peice of software… I just wanna double click the installer icon. I don’t want to have to write out some long String in terminal to install software. And sometimes it’s different depending on distro.

      There have been “app store” frontends for most distributions since at least 2012, and packagekit has the same CLI on every major distribution.

      "I don’t want to have to write out some long String in terminal to install software. "

      I’m no expert, but isn’t it literally just apt get (name of software) to download and install through terminal?

        I wouldn’t force the issue. Some people belong on Windows and I’d rather they don’t use Linux simply because I don’t want them complaining to developers that it doesn’t act like Windows. Linus Tech Tips already caused enough damage by doing exactly that.

      No you don’t, you can search on wikipedia what a computer science degree actually is.
