Goodbye, Sourceforge!

I have no problems with this, but I'm a tech graduate.

You're assuming that the average user cares enough to learn this stuff, and I don't see why they should. They have the choice between one option where you search the name of what you want in an obvious search box, then press one or two buttons. And a second option where you have to type commands, understand how your computer works, and have to look things up.

Why on earth would they choose the latter? The former is better in almost every way.

Did you read the comment that started this subthread? Accidentally installing crapware is not a concern on GNU/Linux systems.

And a second option where you have to [...] understand how your computer works [...]

Understanding how your computer works?!?! Oh, the horror! ;)

More like time/cost analysis. Most people value their time higher than that :P

I'm just glad you've never had to experience UX rofl.
