I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It really sucks on windows. I had three windows updates to make, one crashed. It rebooted my device 4 times. Also I needed to update other drivers and applications. Now I really appreciate package managers more than ever before.

    Before switching to Linux I used to think: “Linux users really use the terminal to install apps?? So archaic”. Now I can’t be more grateful of being able to install everything from the terminal.

      And all in one place, for nearly every app. No figuring out where app X hides its self updater or whether I need to use the help menu or just go straight to the webpage for a download.
