Linux users install chrome now...?

[-] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 145 points 8 months ago

Well they already had firefox installed it seems

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 79 points 8 months ago

Tutorials like this that are really simple might be a good way yo introduce the idea that Linux does not need to be difficult or complex.

Chrome is so common and it demonstrates that you can use something familiar on Linux.

[-] 0ddysseus@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Real Linux users use curl and render the page in their imagination.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 40 points 8 months ago

Imagination? That's bloat.

it's always important to install chrome so google can see the first website you visit before you uninstall is www.firefox com/download

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

But... Firefox is always already installed.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 12 points 8 months ago

Ah yes, the bait-and-switch strategy

Was going to upvote then saw them install chrome. Just why? Use Firefox or Chromium

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 64 points 8 months ago

Use Firefox, not Chromium

Literally no Linux user ever....

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 27 points 8 months ago

I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

They already have that, as you can see in the clip.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 62 points 8 months ago

Why are you showing people how to deliberately install spyware?

[-] HansSlonzok@lemmy.world 48 points 8 months ago

Chrome? Never! Only firefox. Eventually chromium.

[-] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 48 points 8 months ago

Bro this is like pineapple on pizza, you know some people like it, but you also know that is objectively fucking WRONG. WTF

These days I wouldn't dare to even chrome my windows.

[-] Chriswild@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Pineapple is delicious on pizza thank you.

Chrome is literally the same shit as Chromium but with (more) spyware. Like, there are no other added features. And some people still choose to download Chrome. WHY!?!?!?

Literally Firefox in the dock...

[-] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Now show how much trouble windows users need to go through to remove S-mode because Microsoft considers chrome to be a "potential security risk", which... Yeah, it kinda is!

[-] xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 23 points 8 months ago

Or, you know

I don't know why so many windows users find it so difficult to install software on linux.

Use the app store like you do on your phone

And yet, they keep opening a browser and searching "how do I install X".
