When I look at myself and how much time I spent on their -stable versions-, I get sick, because I realize how naive I was and believed like this. Every single most stable version has cracked. From many versions there was no chance for me to recover, I recovered many. you download a bunch of things from the net and linux cracks just like that, I don't see the reasons for the cracking, nothing installed except regular updates. Don't waste time, don't let them catch you. Let them make a simple installation for ordinary people, to install the program just asks you whether or not you want to click that installation and end the story. There is a Debian package that is installed this way, but most programs do not, it does not exist for Debian. You have to unpack it yourself and then you type, you type and rewrite because you mostly have no idea about programming, and then smart people full of knowledge appear and write you a million lines - like a joke. What have you learned - you may be pleased that the desired program has worked, but thanks to the smart guy who keeps Linux in his little finger ?!

On Windows, I've used an uninstaller for years now. It seems to get more of the leftover junk after uninstalling a program, but perhaps even more importantly, if you install a program with it it'll establish a system restore point before installing. And that system restore point has been very useful more than once when a new install crashes the system and it might not even boot up. What I'm wondering with all these package managers, even Chocolatey on Windows, how good are they at cleaning any leftover junk when uninstalling, and will they make a restore point or snapshot before installing? Like, on Linux, if you install Timeshift can you configure the package manager to take a snapshot before installing software? The thing is, package managers, make installing, updating!!!, and uninstalling software much, much easier, but no one's ever told me whether package managers commonly take a snapshot before installing and how well they clean up leftovers when uninstalling?

I'm giving up and going back to Windows. Tried it for a week, but I don't think Linux is right for me. After watching this video, I now realize I don't have the time to learn all these things. It really is a steep learning curve. It took me days just to find and install a working driver for a drawing tablet. Something that would take 5 minutes on Windows. I work in healthcare so I have to squeeze my already short free time to make the most out of this. A lot of programs still need Wine and that too took more than an hour to figure out. I like the idea of an open system but it shouldn't come at the expense of convenience. It's nice to be able to tweak everything in my system but it's much nicer to have things that just work when I need them to. Maybe someone could build a distro that's more user friendly. Until then, I'll be gaming on a PC.

Does working in linux mean i have to learn programming? - I think that Linux distributions are only for developers and ordinary users for web browsing. Besides being extremely ugly - you have to program so that ugly becomes more beautiful. if you manage where someone set what to run and you just waste time. You need to know programming for everything or have someone feel sorry for you ignorant and give you templates for copying and pasting. You're just wasting time, doing nothing, just studying the logic of the programmers who made linux.

Can you kindly make a video on how to verify an application after it has been installed using a package manager. I mean starting with what port(tcp/udp) the application will be listening on, how to trace the request to that application using tcpdump, checking how many sessions the application are running, what is it's process Id, what firewall rules need to applied etc that it covers a general idea of understanding the whole installation lifecycle of a application. Thanks a lot -.

The biggest thing I hate about Arch is the severe lack of packages, for no good excuse (unlike Solus that does have a good excuse). And the AUR is risky and dangerous (it even warns you of that) and has borked my system before, along with many others. It's just such a needless pain in the butt, if I wanted to be frustrated I would just use Windows. Ubuntu based distros have pretty much everything you could ever want in the repos, and can use .deb packages if you have to!

In Ubuntu Mate, you can download any program from anywhere, and then go to your home folder and click on downloads and you will see the new program. Then just double-click on the program and then click install on the pop-up window, and wait for it to install without ever having to open a terminal window at all.

Followed the Guide and I think it only works for how a program was officially meant to be. For example Heroes of Might and Magic works, but if I patch it with In the Wake of Gods and try to use the Wog options the game freezes while on Windows it just works.
Crossover doesn't change anything either.
