i hate package manager culture ,i like having exes or binaries directly(even some appimages need libs installed from package manager). i like having backwards compatibility with dynamically linked apps.
and like having gui for vast majority of settings.
and generally being able to install stuff without any repo Maintainer building it for me. and having any app or hardware or game without thinking if it will work or not.
since my usage of computer is piracy heavy,pirating windows enterprise,office,acrobat,all my games etc windows is best option for that.

You can replace that with Linux, LibreOffice, any PDF reader, and Wine.
Oh yeah, how is gaming on Wine going? It was meh like a year or two ago.
I’m not a gamer myself but Bazzite seems to do a hell of a job there
and deal with the package manager culture? no thanks.
I’ve read it three times, but your message makes no sense at all to me. I’ll file it under rage-bait.
(i’ll bite a little in response to the title … flatpack & snap )
it does make sense. it only doesn’t make sense if one thinks linux is best os ever.
which isn’t true.
And there we have it …
You don’t have a question but you have a rant. Why the disguise ?
Just post “I love windows more than linux” TUX does not care and won’t feel hurt. We like you to use what makes you happy and/or works for you.
It’s a monokernel that was outdated when written, and has basically been hacked to do modern things. When Linus retires, things are going to get difficult.
Systemd is really common, but not ideal. I’m running it now, and it works fine, but for how long? The Unix philosophy exists for a reason!
That being said, what you’re talking about exists on Linux. You don’t have to use packages or package managers; the kernel and other low-level components (cue the “if I can interject” meme) can run your pile of naked executables fine, if you have a bespoke, personal system to keep track of the versions and dependencies.
If you want the enjoy malware ridden garbage that is built only to sell every piece info stolen from you, by all means enjoy.
Not having all the unneeded libraries pre-installed keeps the OS lightweight and reduces malware attack surface. If you are too lazy to learn a bit of basic knowledge about how the OS works, that is on you, not the Linux ecosystem.
Within the system itself (design/architecture wise or programmatically or whatever), absolutely nothing. But some distros’ elitist, toxic, gatekeeping communities do disturb me.
I agree but its not a hate on linux. I have not had to configure outside of the gui for anything I have done and I use appman although I do use a manager for it that is command line. There are some gui managers but I don’t like any as much.
