I could always use synaptic, but considering that many webpages tell you to use apt-get, I'd say you're the dumbass. In Linux, you have a choice, I prefer using a CLI and building from source for many programs because I get a better optimization than builds provided. That doesn't make me a dumbass, because the package managers for Ubuntu call apt-get, you just insulted an entire distro. You may not like Linux compared to Windows, but Ubuntu and many others are shooting for just that, because the average consumer IS stupid, they're like a fish w/ bait: Oh, I see a flashy desktop with all these useless effects that slow down the hardware, I'm not going to get a clean, simple desktop that will last years.
Heard of aptitude? That's the thing the debiansque elite wants you to use, they've been trying to move people over from apt-get/apt-cache etc. to aptitude for years without much success, hence my "LOL" at the end. No, the package managers for Ubuntu don't use apt-get, if you don't trust me, try renaming /usr/bin/apt-get to whatever, you will notice that aptitude etc still works. As for me insulting Ubuntu - oh no... evil me. I never liked Ubuntu much, just like I never liked Debian much. Part of it is the often zealot userbase (and even developers), that can't take critics and bash other distros for no reason other than not being Debian.
Thank you for illustrating my point so nicely! :laughing:
