On smartphones people are used to package managers already. Imagine everyone had to download the executables for every update for each app on their phone, going to their website downloading and such. That’s basically how Windows works. Such a Stone Age.
It’s the kind of thing that took me years to get comfortable with but these days it should be standard, provided we also have the ability to manually install our own shit (sideeyeing Google’s upcoming garbage policy)
you did not read the article

as I understood you are complaining that they don’t have a package manager. they do, but not for system software.
No, you misunderstood my reply. I was not complaining about not having a package manager. I’m making fun of Windows.
Pretty interesting, kudos to them for building a different system and not yet another distro. The end result of having a ton of pre-installed software in the hope that it covers your hardware and workflows makes it a pass for me as I’m all about being lightweight and modular, but it does seem like an almost perfect grandma distro.
Honestly this is basically a non-gaming Bazzite using Arch as the base instead of Fedora Atomic, which is technically mutable. I’ve been trying it out and maybe I should give distrobox a whirl for some things. Overall I’ve been happy with it.
