The torch has been passed…
Using a browser to download a browser is for people who don’t know how to use a package manager.
So real
You need a browser to install a packages manager on Windows or Mac.
(Unless you’ve memorized the urls you need and can use curl)
They couldn’t create a tool without putting Win in it’s name even :)
Guess we should add Lin to all the Linux package managers…
I swear, y’all will find anything to complain about Windows, lol. Not that it isn’t sometimes justified.
That’s true. :)
Both Windows and Mac come with package managers of sorts. Windows has WinGet and the Windows Store. Mac has the App Store.
That’s fair. App Store as the GUI equivalent of a package manager makes sense.
Everyone who needs to use Mac or Windows due to work will very likely not have permissions to install anything anyway. And the lost souls using those “Operating Systems” out of free will … well “some just need to be left behind. The family doesn’t need to care for them anymore.”
Dev world is heavily on Mac as its more stable & still Unix based.
From what I’ve heard of colleagues that chose macOS, it mostly seemed like a pain in the ass. Like, that they can’t run the actual software, because they have ARM hardware. Or lots of small differences between macOS and the Linux that we’ll deploy to…
I’ll sadly be on Mac for work until there’s a Linux build that can compete with the M1 performance, thermals, and battery life. I can’t believe I lived so long with laptops that couldn’t be used on my lap.
You can use Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac.
Only if you can convince the IT department
I’ve tried it and it’s not ready for my daily workload. I’ll probably be able to switch in a year thankfully. I am sick of Mac os
Not really Mac, but I had more issues with normal, very light, work on my iPad than on Arch testing, even with NVidia.
Package managers are great until you realize you don’t know if you need to install “firefox” or “Morzilla Firefox” or “Firefox browser”, only to realize you don’t know how Mozilla is spelled.
We’ve reached the point where chrome is now the new IE.
Everything old is new again.
In my experience Safari is the new internet explorer
No I actually use edge to download Firefox chrome isn’t even worthy of that privilege.
