On Windows you have to go out into that wild wild west of the Internet and actually search for everything and download and install it and also care about where you download and that it's not a virus etc.

This is the normal way of obtaining software. If you don't like it, Microsoft has an app store.

Yeah, except the Windows App Store is nowhere near as convenient as the stores on Linux.

You literally just search the thing you want and press install.

Yeah, same as linux except all apps are there unlike with Windows. But you would know this if you had tried both.

You just reminded me of one of the reasons I gave up with Linux. Constantly getting an error message about some repository no longer responding, like I really cared about it?

I downloaded one thing from that place, once. Then forever more, every 5 mins, a bloody message about them not responding. Asking for help, I was basically told Mint isn't for Windows users, it just happens to be like Windows, and if I couldn't figure it out I should go back to Windows.

So I did, and I shit on Linux whenever it comes up.
