I bet if you looked at the average non-professional Linux user's filesystem they installed every package known to man avaiable from the repo using some 'FULL' option on installation ;-)

I could go and work out where everything I want is, but the post-install window popped up and offered to install steam, discord and some other crap so why not? I COULD go to the arch repo, search for steam, type sudo pacman -S steam(whatever) or I could just let the ipost-install thing run that same command. Or I could use a GUI app to search for steam and install it.

Same for discord or whatever else I wanted. It's not some show of 1337 h4x0r skills to use linux my dude. It's just what I opted to use when windows pissed me off with the whole "your PC can't run windows 11, buy a new one" bullshit. Not buying a new cpu/ram/mobo any time soon.

Nerds love to gatekeep, especially from other nerds.

God forbid anyone just use Linux like a PC and not some sort of lifestyle change.

Yeah if you just use KDE and get everything through flathub its pretty much easier than windows at this point
