eli5 Mac/Linux App Installation vs Windows Application Installation difference

589 views

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

All three do the same thing when installing software.

Windows and Linux show you what’s happening.

Apple hides it.
