It's clear you haven't used linux.

Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.

Linux: open package manager, search package you want, click install, open program.

You seem rather fixated on Edge, unlike anyone who's ever used Windows.

Windows has winget now. It's great.

I have, quite a bit: Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, Debian. Not everything is in your precious package manager

You'll never convince the zealots who believe sun shines out of Torvalds' asshole.

Their lack of self-awareness makes me laugh, that's all it is

And once you've done it once, you can install it again on another machine by just using

Linux: $PACKAGE_MANAGER install $PACKAGE, open program.

Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.
