    None of them has something that can compare to the app store, play store, or even the Microsoft store

    There are lots of reasons someone might choose Windows but…this ain’t it. The Linux app managers are way easier to use, require no account, and aren’t full of ads and malware.

      In addition to that… I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use the Microsoft store? They all download stupid adware ridden installers from the first result on bing or whatever lol

        Yeah, I was going to add that application management is so much better in Mint than the Windows store has ever been. Winget works alright, but you gotta use powershell for it, so “90% of users will think your product is shit.”

        Some programs’ download link redirect you to Microslop Store, so at least some of them use it either voluntarily or involuntarily.
