This is something I’ve always wondered. Whevenever I install apps on my Mac it has just been a simple drag to the Application folder.
With Windows however, it’s always a series of steps that an installer has to do to make the application run.
Wonder why this is so. What is exactly happening when I’m installing something on a Windows vs a Mac. Windows just makes installation seem like a complicated process
In: Technology
Windows asks you to confirm or change default install settings, Linux assumes you’re ok with default settings if you don’t explicitly specify overrides.
So while it’s a lot easier to just get started on linux, you need to read the manual (often literally) if you want to do something that isn’t the default behaviour.
