It is wild that people will say that using apt to install things is too hard, but then suggest a registry edit to remove Bing from seach. Windows just isn’t as casual user friendly as it pretends to.
I’d even add that now 99% of the distro have a gui over the package manager. Have an android or iPhone? You already have experience in installing stuff in an easier way than windows
Once there are some fundamental changes in the Android framework, these old apps will actually become incompatible. So Google wants to prepare their users for that scenario, and force devs to update their apps.
“Windows is easy. I just install it and it works. What’s so great about Linux?”
“You can customize it however you want”
“Oh yeah that sounds amazing. Okay I installed Linux, how do I make a customized desktop and set of desktop animations to record YouTube videos of so I can show off my uniqueness through my ability to customize?!?!”
“Read this long ass article and try to understand what it says to do”
GUIs, even the Registry Editor, are familiar territory for a lot of users. Give them a blank screen cli, and there is no hint of what to do next. There are good reasons why the vast majority clearly prefer GUIs.

Unless you want to install older apps on modern Android. Then you need ADB.
Uh. Didn’t knew that.
But that only applies to apps that have a lower target than Android 6, right?
Yes, but it could have been solved with a warning.
Instead I believe it just says that the app is “Incompatible”.

I saved this comment when I read it, not remembering the last time I would’ve needed it. Two days later and I had to use it, thanks!!
Windows is friendly to its users as long as they trust everything to windows, and do not want to change anything about their system.

“Ugh! This was way easier on Windows!”
“No. You’ve never done this on Windows.”
Isn’t that any OS?
These are not the same people complaining abt
aptand doing regedits lolJust as friendly as using a phone with MIUI
I felt that.
I actually like MIUI, I just wish I didn’t need to memorize many bugs and ways to get around them.
Stuff like this is why I say Linux is more beginner friendly
Don’t want to dive into cli? Easier to do in Linux
