    Linux package repositories win again. Downloading random executable files from sketchy websites will always be stupid

    EDIT: laughing so hard at the cope from windows users 😂 stay fully in denial and enjoy your self-installed viruses

        Nah. Nothing is perfect of course, but normalizing executing software sourced from random, untrustworthy websites will always be objectively worse than curated repos.
