Linux users uninstalling browser: basically same as what the op shows.
you can install the Malware CCleaner on Malware Windows and uninstall it in a few minutes.

21 minutes. Mother of God.
and 22 seconds in: now most of these methods don’t work
paru -S floorp
pacman -Sy waterfox
You can smell the Manjaro influence from 3 miles away
(Unless you just like living on the edge)
no i don’t like edge too bloated ahah. no btw i used arcolinux back jn the days (6 months ago) now i’m using librewolf on windows 11 ghost spectre
Does Arco do the incomplete update bullshit too or are you just misremembering the command?
probably the second
flatpak install firefox -y
Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.
spoke like a true veteran
No, we write a bash script to install whatever it is and put it in a software folder that is synced on our next new install. This script also has to be updated every time, but, you get it.
When I needed to use chrome (ugh) to run a program I just compiled I googled chromium… which didn’t work… so I tried troubleshooting it. But I don’t understand c. Or why it didn’t work I can’t remember what happened next but it took hours.
I have ungooohlef. Chromium now though which is great.
If you can’t read HTML, why even bother using a computer?
Just use lynx
I grew up with w3m, but I like your style
Nyxt ftw
For a moment I thought you said “LyX” and I was like: you use a LaTeX editor for browsing?
Lynx rules btw 👍
I was confused because yeah… Why is this gif using a GUI?
Imagination? That’s bloat.
chrome?
They have that installed already. Likely that is their main browser.
Yeah the mouse just passed over Firefox.
Real Linux users don’t install software using a mouse.
Yes they do. I will not have you gatekeeping Linux users (even for humor sake), just because we insist on having options.
I want my ‘the year of the Linux desktop’ damnit, and that won’t happen if granny is stuck in Windows because nobody makes a GUI update button.
okay Judge Dredd. Because you make the difference to the Linux world. piss off back to whatever OS you were using before you “discovered Linux” 6 months ago.
Oh! What a spicy comment!
It’s funny - some of my first Linux experiences was to try out compiz-fusion back when it was new about 20 years ago. Wobbly windows is the key feature that I fell in love with Linux over. Or rather a compositor that provided great control over the desktop experience that made it fun, and people like you were angry back then that nobody needs eye candy. Nowadays, composite graphics are standard in Windows, Mac, Gnome and KDE.
I’m glad that the community overall has grown up, and that most distros focus on being usable by every user, not just power users
“Granny” has evolved. In 1985 granny at the tender age of 60 was born when 65% of households didn’t have electricity and she came of age when the height of sophistication was the typewriter.
In 2010 granny saw computers become a thing when she was 40 become usable by 55 and pervasive at work by the time she retired.
In 2024 granny saw computers become a thing right when she became an adult. Her kids had them. She used them. By the time she was 46 they were literally everywhere and unavoidable
By 2034 granny saw computers become a thing when she was a kid and they were everywhere by her early adulthood.
This isn’t an argument against GUIs which are in fact useful but lets not pretend everyone is an idiot either. Honestly I don’t find googles GUI for managing android apps even slightly usable as far as finding software either. I always end up searching on an actual search engine, finding the exact app I need and then installing it. Android with its mega millions of users doesn’t have a better ux than apt.
Fair point. My apologies to all the tech hip grannies of the world.
There are people who consider themselves not tech savvy, and don’t plan to learn. Is there a good term you’d recommend as slang for these people?

Windows users. It’s kind of useless to optimize a product for users who have no interest in it.
Literally Firefox in the dock…
So many people in the comments are being wooshed.
Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?
It’s a parody of stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

nixos users installing a web browser:
Man, I thought having more CPU cores was what made compile jobs faster, I’ve never tried compiling on more screens before. TIL.
For real, I was like… so what the hell?
Maybe it’s making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?
It’s not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.
I’d rather click a button that installed everything to the right place than relying on myself to drag a single thing to a specific folder. Opening a folder first and having to drag is… a drag. That’s my opinion.
Installing on a Mac looks like this.
- Click on the app package you downloaded
- Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it
Imo it’s very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.
Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.
UI design of apple truly amazes me. Did Jobs really worked on the design as well
Found the newb.
Linux users install chrome now…?
HERESY! GET THE TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!!
Only for stuff that really requires my Google-account
Well they already had firefox installed it seems
That’s why you don’t need to install another one 😘
Ahem Tor
Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.
Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.
Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though
The problem would be that graphical UIs can look very different. Each distro with all their supported desktops would require documentation. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a short introductory documentation for people who have no clue about linux. Debian claims to be the “universal operating system”, but new users are usually directed towards Mint/Ubuntu/PopOS, but why? There’s a possibility here.
Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.
Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.
Or, you know

I needed to use lynx yesterday. I was sshed into s headless server and had no choice. It gotctye job done.

It’s a subversion on these memes
