What I enjoy the most on my Linux desktop is how it handles installing/upgrading software. It's just easy, and it works. When I'm on Windows I can't stand the google-download-execute-untick boxes-next-next cycles. This post is more about UI features though.
- yogo 13y agoAgreed. pacman -Syu is a godsend. Of course that's just the face of a great package manager and packaging. In many ways on Arch you could make the argument that it just works.
- ardemue 13y agoIt does not get any better than pacman for sure, but I'm pretty happy with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade :)
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoThe best package manager on Linux I've ever used is Sorcery, although pacman is a close second. I'm still partial to the *BSD way of ports, however.
- yogo 13y agoSource-based distributions have their advantages but for me the biggest disadvantage is the wasting of my time.
- wubbfindel 13y agoYou should try out "chocolatey" on windows. It enough people adopt it, more packages will get on to it.
- lucajona 13y agoOr Scoop at http://scoop.sh http://scoop.sh (I made it).
- wubbfindel 13y agoLooks interesting! Will look into it more closely.
- ardemue 13y agoIt looks good. But to me, until Microsoft does something about it, it's not really gonna take off. I thought Microsoft Installer would be it, but obviously it's not :/
