apt-get, bitches.

And don't forget to close the door on the way out!

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 60 points 1 year ago (6 children)

The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.

[–] linucs@lemmy.ml 70 points 1 year ago

pre-installed

You don't use Arch, btw

[–] Ooops@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You mean "pre-installed with most DEs"...

I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?

But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.

I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output

Well shit, now there's nothing left for Edge to do.

Firefox is installed by default on my Linux distro, though

[–] TooLazyDidntName@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you have Ubuntu though you still gotta uninstall the snap version of Firefox and switch it to the deb version

sudo pacman -S firefox

[–] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 14 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Just casually having Firefox with plugins and settings described in my NixOS config.

Works always the same.

Is winget installed by default on Windows now?

[–] otterpop@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, finally it comes with a package manager by default!

The REAL real wax is brew/Flatpak install Firefox

[–] victron@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Real. I just did that yesterday, uninstalled all that snap bullshit from kubuntu.

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (13 children)

I honestly don’t understand why it’s a snap by default now. I’ve never got it to really function the way I want as a snap. Puts a sour taste in my mouth for Ubuntu altogether.

Legit me past week, had a misshap and had to reinstall windows, didn't want the millions of installers so I just everything via winget

[–] karbotect@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don't you need to google the exact package name anyways?

[–] Nothingwise@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Scoop is preferred as it provides versioning and user installs compared to winget which are typically machine wide and require administrative roles.

Man I love WinGet I just hope they add multi-threaded download to speed up downloads also downloading while installing other applications

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Nope, the correct way is sudo xbps-install -Suv firefox.

Is this something everyone should know to do? Or just style points for programmers?
