apt-get, bitches.

And don't forget to close the door on the way out!

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 53 points 2 years ago (8 children)

The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.

[–] linucs@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 years ago

pre-installed

You don't use Arch, btw

I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?

But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.

I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?

apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output

Firefox is installed by default on my Linux distro, though

[–] TooLazyDidntName@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version

[–] UnelectedReimu@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

But still remove the snap version.

[–] philluminati@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Downvote for using Windows.

[–] Lemmyuser_Guest@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I want to downvote and upvote this comment at the same time

Just casually having Firefox with plugins and settings described in my NixOS config.

Works always the same.

The REAL real wax is brew/Flatpak install Firefox

[–] victron@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Real. I just did that yesterday, uninstalled all that snap bullshit from kubuntu.

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (13 children)

I honestly don’t understand why it’s a snap by default now. I’ve never got it to really function the way I want as a snap. Puts a sour taste in my mouth for Ubuntu altogether.

Is winget installed by default on Windows now?

[–] otterpop@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, finally it comes with a package manager by default!

sudo pacman -S firefox

[–] karbotect@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Don't you need to google the exact package name anyways?

Scoop is preferred as it provides versioning and user installs compared to winget which are typically machine wide and require administrative roles.

Legit me past week, had a misshap and had to reinstall windows, didn't want the millions of installers so I just everything via winget

[–] Flippydoo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Is this something everyone should know to do? Or just style points for programmers?

[–] Tamlyn@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

At the moment i like choco more than winget, so winget is now the tool to install choco???

More like sysadmins not programmers. I've met plenty of programmers that write brilliant code, but don't know how to manage computers very well.
