Because their app store sucks!

Install drivers per app store? Negative.

Install vlc per app store? Get a half assed "mobile" Version that lacks most Features.

But candy crush is already installed. Great!

Remember that you can't mod the games you get through the windows store either. (unless they changed that recently?)

They did not. In fact, Windows ships in S mode now, which means you can't install ANYTHING outside of the appstore. Not even Office downloaded directly from Office(dot)com. You can turn S mode off, for now, but you need to (and I'm not shittin you) install an app from the appstore that disables S mode. But not without confirming that you're serious several times, and read through fear mongering with a "you get viruses if you install outside the appstore" scare tactic.

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
