I think differently. In Linux, all program files are installed in certain locations, instead of cluttered across a hard drive, nvme, and 5 different folders, and it’s always a ‘pacman -Ql’ or your package manager’s equivalent away from knowing where everything is
Dude its just "sudo apt install gimp" anyone can do it, Or use the app installer that comes with your distro (some distros may not have it) similar to the microsoft store
@TheArchCoder it's because people for whatever reason are afraid of CLIs. Also I should note in some circumstances you'll need to install certain dependencies to install a program, which isn't as simple as an installer exe.
Linux distros have a GUI too, if you use the KDE desktop environment you would have KDE Discover and you can search your distro repo and more, plus on Debian and Fedora systems you have DEB and RPM files which is the Linux equalivent of Windows' MSI and EXE files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's still a pro point for manual installers though You could customize which parts of the programs that you want to install like localization, plugins, etc

Also Linux has a sorta app store where it installs just like on phone, but unlike Windows where it has to be published specifically to the Microsoft Store, on Linux every single program that's available for Linux will be there
I think app installers are more convenient because you will be sure that you installed the software correctly and at a correct location, with that commands that you showed I think if someone is a beginner in terms of using cmd or Linux commands, they will definitely make mistakes.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
You can't say it's not convenient. It's convenient for most users who just use one system for few years and install apps in graphical installer. You can adjust some settings during installation. Also: you still need to know the name of the app somehow. So downloading it from official website is not that much of a hassle. Although I agree that updates are easier. On the other hand, sometimes you want update an app only when you launch them, like for example Steam. Of course for "power users" it is very convinient to use package manager
but the thing is winget just downloads a regular installer and performs a quiet installation. this is still not a full-featured package manager, and totally not a packaging system, with repos, dependencies, etc etc
Thing I like is that you can export the list of apps installed with winget. So on your next Windows install you can import the list and sit back and relax
Good thing about it is that a. everything in the MS Store is there, so you don't need to open that piece of c and b. you can update all the programs at once.
People still tend to download installers manually instead of using the command line is due to their preference to its visual and "tactile" approach. Unlike browsing in an app store or the web, they felt dumb not knowing what to type in a console window rather than just click click click and boom.
Not using winget is totally convenient. You can choose the type of setup to use, actually search for apps you don't yet know the name of and have a visual install ux.
winget has a comparable small repository of apps, due to the limitations of not being able to run manual installers. I prefer chocolatey. Installer-Scripts and more are open source and validated by moderators for safety
We have gsudo as well on windows if you need am elevated powershell/cmd prompt all of a sudden while working in a directory. Is basically sudo for windows
The difference is that after you install in Linux it usually doesn't start because you-never-heard-before library was not installed which doesn't happen in windows. Also where was that program installed - in Linux again you don't know, and it's very much possible to have the same app installed in different folders, conflicting with each other for "best"results.
Most package managers from what I’ve seen have good dependency checking, and if it doesn’t install that dependency with the program, it’s usually the fault of the author of the package
I had a colleague, who said, that googling, downloading (preferably on desktop), and then installing a program with an installer is a neat and orderly method. Not like these package managers in Linux.
How is it though? The websites of certain programs can be cluttered and the download page can be hard to find whereas with a cli package manager its always the same process

@@dwinkley well, he was a religious Windows fan, so I didn't want to argue with him.
So rather than searching for a product, clicking on the website, downloading the exe and installing it I instead search for the product, search up the name of the repository than I require, downloading the file and waiting for it to install. What a timesave 🗿
Ngl, the issues of installing software on linux is finding it in the aur. It's not faster besides the download and wizard being a single command. It's the search that they both share
I both hate and love winget. On the one side it is better than hunting in the wilds of the internet for software. However why are there two options for most software (a Microsoft store version and an explicit winget). This wouldn't be a problem if winget wouldn't refuse to install until you specify which one you want. Who on earth would like to install the Microsoft store one if there is one for winget?
What you don't say is that there is still a GUI to pass through. It's a good idea, but something like a single command without a GUI could be a good idea when you set up a lot of workstations (in my work...). Yes, custom images exist and can be created, but upgrading app versions requires a new installation every time...
The biggest reason why I don't use Linux as a main home OS is that I don't feel I'm in a control of where my files are written. Windows is a direct descendant from MS-DOS where data storage and directory structure was core philosophy. Linux has "everything is a file" which mixes local storage, RAM, devices etc. In a single directory tree. In Windows I can easily manage multiple HDDs and split software, data etc. Between them. In Linux it gets increasingly tedious with every new drive/partition. In Windows you can move a whole drive to new computer and most programs will work without installation or they reinstall themselves when you try to run them. It's not as convenient as in MS-DOS though, where OS was totally a separate thing and each program was 'portable'. This is why people were storing installed programs instead of installers since it was faster to unpack the directory than to install from installer (which essentially just unpacked the software anyway).
I’m like really in between *wow that’s cool* and yeah I do that a lot with my computers but yeah that’s one of the things I like about windows it’s filesystem is a neat blend of Simplified but configurable versus the complex and configurable nature of Linux’s file systems (emphasis on complex) and Mac OS’s Simplified and Secure nature it’s also why I can easily make it with only 64 GB on my Tablet I can basically use my SD card as a part of my drive it’s super helpful to conserving my storage space.
FYI, winget package is still a bit buggy as it refuses to update certain runtime/framework packages which I had to install for certain apps like handbrake,g-helper etc.
I like to put all my installer exes on my flash drive so I don't have to download it everytime I want to install it on a computer. It's so much more convenient and it's a quality that Winget, Store, and downloading exes just can't replicate! Though I often just resort to the Store because I get scared I'm gonna go to a fake website and download a malicious exe...
Meanwhile me: [opens Pamac (preinstalled app manager of my version of Linux (pretty much each has one)), clicks search button, types "gimp", clicks install button] v🙂v
You forgot that winget gives you no flexibility. Downloading manually gives you full power WHERE exactly you want to install the app which is crucial if you have more than 1 disk/partition. Winget is also known to have issues with installations. Dont use winget unless absolutely necessary
