When you discover an interesting tool, and it turns out there's no executable GUI, but to get it running you need to pip a git, hub a stub, sudo a judo, brew a stew, python a cobra and unix a linux… 🤡
I was studying computer science and just started using Linux like 15 years ago. It was painful when something I wanted to use had a dozen of dependencies, and each dependencies had their own dependencies to install, lol. I guess there was an "Install dependencies" parameter I wasn't aware at that time.
Thankfully, I didn't have that problem in Linux in recent years. I wonder if that "install dependencies" parameter isn't needed anymore.
@ahmetkkeles 🙂 I've always got sympathy for Linux and its users / community, and in recent years I hear good things about no need to be a semi-hacker anymore to get something running. I used to be a real system geek in my Amiga years, long ago, but these days I like things to just work. 😅 I'm also afraid of missing tools I'm used to on Windows or macOS.
