This grand Linux experiment I am running is testing to see just how good the experience is for a newcomer.
I was writing about Linux in the late 90s for a living and I've used it of and on in the intervening 27 or so years.
I know what I'm doing.
But approaching this like someone who has just left windows and has listened to the just switch crowd, the experience is a nightmare.
I'm simply trying to install a retro computer emulator.
It shouldn't be this stupid. 1/2

Also, isn't the whole point of a packaging system that it bundles all the dependencies you need so you just run the command line and install it? Since all that happens when I do it is it says there were errors and it lists the dependencies it failed to install.🙄 On Windows it just works. Which is infuriating because Windows is shit as well. This is just cementing my opinion that all operating systems are shit now. Windows is shit, Linux is shit, Mac OS is shit, Android is shit...
