Linux users when somebody can open their browser and go to a website without 36 lines in the terminal, 40 minutes of troubleshooting, and 3 reinstallations of Wine:

most linux distros come with a browser, and barely need terminal use (although literally terminals are so easy to use). no normie browser requires troubleshooting for normie activities. wine is not the problem, proprietary software is.

try linux mint, for example. very easy to dual boot, and easy to learn coming from windows. active userbase too

How windows users think installing software on Linux works:

Step one: open terminal Step two: cry knowing any application can break my Linux install Step three: neofetch, one last time Step four: clone browser repository. Step five: cry again Step six: change directories Step seven: uncontrollable sobbing Step eight: makepkg Step nine: my desk is covered in tears Step ten: package compiles Step eleven: 😭 Step twelve: time to install the newly compiled package Step thirteen: cautiously approach “Y” key and tremble in fear Step fourteen: hit Y Step fifteen: no turning back Step sixteen: terminal freezes Step seventeen: keyboard in flames Step eighteen: nuclear siren wailing Step nineteen: evacuation Step twenty: turn around and watch as your life turns to ashes. Step twenty-one: promise to never use Linux again. Step twenty-two: install Linux again.

So what you’re saying is that A) Linux distros doesn’t have web browsers installed by default B) it is impossible to install a web browser with GUI and 3 clicks in Linux C) there exists no Linux binaries for web browsers so you absolutely need to run then in Wine?

Huh, would you look at that. I’ve been using Linux for decades and learn something new about it still…

No, I think they were doing something called a “joke” which you missed. Sorry to say, but you wasted your effort with this comment since you missed it.

That would be a lot of effort and tinkering (and may be impossible) for something really dumb considering there’s an easier option, and that’s literally what a Linux user would do!
