I know it’s not that hard $ dpkg -i but opening the terminal gives normies an aneurysm and thanks to the crazy gatekeeping gen alpha doesn’t know what a file type is now.
I use Ubuntu btw. Personally, the App store’s on Linux confused me a ton, setting up Flatpak and some other package repositories. I much preferred the windows way, shocker, with just downloading and double-click the exe file.
Do I have to make a pull request myself to get this done, or what is the debate on this?
Gnome-Software and GDebi can do exactly that for you. Download a deb, right click “open with X”, and they’ll install it for you using GUI. You can even change file associations so debs are opened by gdebi/gnome-software by simple double-clicking.
This is deliberately not allowed in order to ensure that Linux remains exclusive for nerds.
If you have Nautilus as the filemanager, you can write a Nautilus script that does this for you, you just then have to right click and select the script. You can run essentially any script this way, I use it for some preset file conversions.
Just use nautilus-action
Wait, for real? Gen Alpha doesn’t know what a file type is??
fr, windows hides the file type by default.
