Uh, really? I find it to be much easier.
aptcontains almost everything, and for a niche thing like yours, a Google foraio fans linuxcame back with the first result of a reddit thread including the above software, and liquidctl which it uses and is all over the place. I have way more trouble finding things for Windows, but maybe that's because 98℅ of my use case isn't gaming.i searched it at the time and all i could ever find was fancontrol.
which is fine and solved my problem, but 99% of niche linux software i use was found through forums like lemmy, on recommendation of other nerds. hardly a good way to find it quick.
ideally searching a distros app store should find almost everything, more or less like android can do today.
While I agree with the sentiment, you're comparing a mobile OS, built that way from the ground up, to a desktop OS. The same problem exists in Windows and MacOS.
it does, and we ain't in the ideal world! heres the thing, on one hand they got more media covering them, but on the other they use an universal kind of installer.
worse, some devs will spin .exes and .dmgs but on linux they wont even bother giving you an install script sometimes, let alone using flatpak which is a solution that fixes most of those problems.
