    this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro’s package manager

    also last I checked apt hasn’t stopped being a cli over the years

      This meme reeks of someone who’s only used linux for a week and has no clue what he’s talking about.

      When I was a beginner and used Linux Mint, I downloaded deb files, and even rpm files that I converted to deb, because I didn’t know what package manager means

      I didn’t actually mean that you install deb packages from the internet, I mean debian based distros, I just don’t know the acronym for it.

      and AFAIK mx linux and LMDE have programs with a GUI for installing packages, and I added debian because it has a gui installer and I don’t know a good third debian based distro
