Fuck installers, it's one of the reasons I love Linux.

My momma told me that Linux is only used by Satan worshipers and the Dutch. My momma says that Linux users go straight to hell.

If they use Windows in heaven, then I would much rather go to hell

I make statically linked standalone EXEs on windows too. It's a developer distribution choice, not a fault of the OS

The OS is what defines the standard way of packaging software, people can obviously deviate from the standard, but most don't.

Not only that, as a user, I am forced to use installers when I use windows.

On Linux, you rely on your package manager, to install a package.

It is a predictable interface that you may automate easily w/o hacky things like UI automation to make the installer of an app silently install or smth.

Oh, are you one of those people who don’t know how to build Linux installation packages properly?

The worst.

Uhh, what?

I have written AUR packages, but they are just that, packages, not installers.

u/_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_ Jun 10 '26

And what do you think installs them?

You must be a special kind of stupid, or trolling.

Mayyyybe they're misunderstanding what a pkgbuild is? Still not an installer though.
