    Install windows software: download the exe or msi and click OK 2 or 3 times

    Install Linux software: you got at least 40hrs to learn terminal commands to install dependencies n shit? I fucking don’t, that’s not what user-friendly looks like to 90% of the planet

      commands to install dependencies n shit

      That only happens if you are fixated on installing the software without connecting to the internet.
      Otherwise, the package manager does it for you (that’s what its job is)

      It’s clear you haven’t used linux.

      Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.

      Linux: open package manager, search package you want, click install, open program.

      Pretty much everything is available in a package manager, flatpaks, etc.

      If you’re at the point of building from source, I don’t think you’re in regular user territory to start with.
