    No no no. I’ll make it more exciting to watch.

    Ok, so first off, everybody loves violence. So the first thing we’re doing is giving every player a knife. They’re free to use it however they like. Except the goalie. The goalie gets a chainsaw. All the refs gets flame throwers.

    Ok, so next we want to increase female viewership. So now all the athletes are going to have a uniform that is only a bra and panties, sponsered by Victoria Secret.

    No more groups. It’s now one group. Elimination tournament style.

    And now, the soccer ball is filled with a bunch of beans. These beans are filled with rice size atomic bombs. If the ball is shot with a special liquid, the protective layer around the ball is melted away. And now the ball is one big explosive with a timer. Nobody knows when it’ll blow up. This is only used in sudden death overtime.

    And the airplanes above the field release toxin gas that makes everybody horny as hell. That’s when drunk people in the stands start fucking.

    See…this is a small example of what I mean when I say that Linux needs to be naturally intuitive to the human brain on where/how things work.

    You didn’t even know this was a thing, but your human brain just said “This download goes HERE!” and so it was.

    In general, Linux lacks this. This is a great example of Linux doing it right, and it makes me want to try KDE now.

    I just wish there was an all in one program manager.

    Did you install a program with terminal? You can manage it with program manager. Did you install a flatpak? You can manage it with program manager. Did you install an AppImage? You can manage it with program manager. Did you download a snap? …go fuck yourself.

    Jokes about controlling corporations aside, installing and managing programs on Linux is a NIGHTMARE.

    I want to install 7zip. I go online, find the terminal command, I install it…and terminal tells me it’s already installed on the latest version.

    It’s not in my start menu. I don’t know what linux’s equivilant of “C/Windows/Program Filesx86/” would be. I have no idea where this program is, or how to launch it. So I search for it within my start menu. It finds a txt file, and thats it.

    This story doesn’t have a current happy ending. I still know it’s installed, but I don’t know how to find it, and I don’t know how to run it. It also makes me wonder what other programs I have installed that I don’t know about.

    And yes, I conceed that this is very much a “me” problem. But linux was sold to me on the idea of “you can customize it to work however you want it to run!”

    Then he showed me his windows and said "see how they wiggle? Thats not standard. I customized it to do that. You don’t have to have that, but you can if you want.

    I don’t want jello windows. I want all my programs all in one place, and all in the start menu, listed alphabetically. I want a center where I can push a button to update them, or mod them, or uninstall them, or even open them (if for some reason the start menu wasn’t working for some reason). I want it all in one centralized manager app. Call it whatever the fuck you want. But it should handle wine exe installs, flatpaks, sudo apt-get install, AppImages, and…sigh, yes, even snaps. If you can install it, this manager should handle it, including being able to click a checkbox that says “add to start menu”. You can uncheck it if for some reason you DON’T want a program on your start menu, but it should give you the option.

    Yes I just ranted about Linux. I’m having Windows as an option stripped away from me, because I don’t support corporate spyware. I don’t support Apple either. But I don’t understand a lot of Linux. I don’t get the structure.

    But with this post, it’s easy. Drag, and drop to the place. Thing works. Human happy! That’s how Linux grows. Make it idiot friendly. Or at least make a distro that is. I’m on ZorinOS, which is SUPPOSED to be beginner friendly. I can tell you it is NOT. But I’ve tweaked it so much over 6 months, that this is what I’m using now. Even though I’m still clueless.
