Lame excuse. That is not part of the learning curve for most users. Most users use the GUI of their distro.
>Sorry gstreamer stuff via ubuntu-restricted-extras.
Sorry. GUI. For this, most distros prompt you with a button to click on, to install the required plugins when you try to play a particular file. Not many of my Linux using friends are aware of ubuntu-restricted-extras.
- serge2k 14y agoDo most people really use the gui? I find it pretty horrible and try to avoid it.
- lake99 14y agoMy point remains: most people who don't write software find it easier to use a GUI. I use Arch, myself. But Synaptic is very well-made. I prefer the command line to any other GUI.
- mayanksinghal 14y agoIt is quite useful when you are not aware of the package names or if you want to make changes to configuration.
