    Yes, let’s fucking download software from a GitHub repo!

    And then bitch how Linux isn’t user friendly, because you… might have to download software from a GitHub repo?

        Dafuq are you talking about? I’ve downloaded many random shit from Github on Windows to restore some basic UX functionality on W11, while I have never downloaded any software from Github repo on Linux, because everything I need is either on Ubuntu repo or some ppa or - shockingly - is built-in DE. And I’m a programmer and Linux is my daily driver.

          Cool, you chose to use github to return optional functionality. That’s a little different from being required to use github so that your latest software purchase can run on your system. It’s not difficult, you’d think a programmer would have a better grasp on simple logic problems.

            I don’t know what this is referring to.

              Maybe proton-ge but again that’s entirely optional. They’re just grasping at straws trying to defend their abusive OS.
