When the hell would I need to update my Windows because of an app update? I only restart when there is a system update, which you have to do on Linux too if you want your kernel to stay up to date.
I appreciate Linux for how well it can handle single-purpose tasks, like if I wanted a media centre or such, but after daily driving it for 3 years on my Desktop I’ve had enough. Anyone who thinks it’s easy has a lot of spare time they wish to invest into a thing that’s supposed to just work.
Open terminal
See whether the app is in my distro’s repos, flathub, or snapcraft (It’s not)
Go on the internet, search up the app’s name
Download the AppImage (might be a virus)
LibFuse2 is not installed (fuck me)
Install LibFuse2
Install Gearlever to integrate AppImage into my desktop
I can finally launch the app
I need to install all of my apps under Linux as well. Doesn’t make much of a difference. I don’t like the default browser, media player, torrent client, office suite, etc. that Mint ships with for example.

Someone definitely reads the changed code of Gentoo packages. You are saying that every operating system on the planet is untrustworthy, besides gentoo and a few other source-based distros, but let’s target Ubuntu in particular.
Windows itself was installed during that time. Additional software installation took a few minutes. I installed stuff when I needed it thorough the day.

How the fuck. I seriously want to know. My W11 IoT installed under half an hour.
Sure. And a regular user will visit Steam’s website and download a .deb. Which will work as most people use Debian/Ubuntu derivatives. The Steam flatpak is not even official.
Like every linux community. Living in a bubble that doesn’t exist.
Plasma supports wayland as well. On distros where it doesn’t ship by default all you have to do is install a package.
That I can confirm. Windows won’t let me move files if any app is using them. I sometimes do it by accident when I’m editin an office document, realize it’s in the wrong folder so I try to drag it to Documents. That won’t work. But I got used to it pretty quickly.
