A lot of non-technical users are told to run this, run that in the console to solve random problems all the time. When they get an error they don’t try to interpret it, they get all confused and send you a screenshot (that behavior isn’t even non-technical user specific). Popping up an actual solution where they could install in a few clicks is actually welcome.
I would also think that people who are smart enough to complain about this are smart enough to understand path resolution and no fuck up their PATH, but here we are. Who would have guessed.
- knolax 7y agoThis isn't about PATH resolution, this is about pretending to have a program installed when it isn't. As other comments have pointed out, this "actual solution" also fucks up any Python script you try to run because nobody writes scripts thinking "what if python isn't actually python". What's next, selling a car that looks like it has an engine, but on closer inspection actually only has a flyer for the closest mechanic under the hood? Should I check if my plane actually has wings instead of cardboard cutouts made to look like wings every time I take a flight too?
