apt-get, bitches.And don't forget to close the door on the way out!
The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.
You don't use Arch, btw
You mean "pre-installed with most DEs"...
Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won't be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.
I think it's just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.
KDE on Arch didn't install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.
OUT.
This is now cool people thread.
Eh, Debian still ships ESR
And ESR kinda sucks if you want an updated browser.
I miss the days when they shipped Iceweasel.
You misspelled
pacmanyay your ass outta here
Get rid of that old yay yay ass haircut
Arch puns. As an Arch user, I admit this is hilarious.
I use Arch btw.
I always thought apt and apt-get is the same thing so why type more when you can less?
But then again, I'm a linux noob that only uses distros like Ubuntu.
I also like the software center thing in Ubuntu because of GUI and... um... why do I see a bunch of people with pitchforks?
apt is a newer tool that combines the functionality of apt-get and apt-cache. It’s not as backwards compatible but has a nicer more human readable output
apt is a wrapper of a wrapper for dpkg.
That's like dnf is a wrapper for yum which is a wrapper for rpm.
