I agree but there is a intuitive way once you are holding it. I remember looking at a car wheel and the signal lever not understanding how do people decided that up on the lever means right. Yeah it’s connected to the wheel rotation but why turning the wheel clockwise means turning right? When I actually sat on the driver seat there was an instinct.For most people It’s more logical to look at the “top” of the circle and corelate it’s movement with turning left/right.

A thing that annoyed me is when table top games use a non determinist way to define player order. It always depends on the observer.alIf you just say “then the you pass your turn to the left”, what left? From my perspective; from the top down perspective translating it to counterclockwise? From the tables perspective which is the opposite?

She is right, using 0 index for physical stuff is stupid.

Yes they are presented in the programmer wrong. The first thing in memory should have offset 0 and index 1

People here saying you can just download and run the .deb just like the .exe

Aren’t you forgetting the “add +x permission” step?

Yes people would assume you have curl. Curl is often used to install programs. And curl is definitely one of the things that can do malicius things this way. So you are right to be hesitant to use commands that you don’t understand. Most Linux users have forgotten how hard it is to learn the first stuff with no preaquired knowledge.

If you have googled “what is curl and how is it used” you may have found some relevant info.

I have given up on Linux because installing was hard in the past

There are some tools that make installing software easier. Like “appimage” files that are single files that (after you make executable) are completely self contained.

Flatpacks and snaps have an “store” like experience.

.deb files are also sometimes simple (also need to be made executable) (depends on the distro)

Unfortunately there is no .exe file experience.

Are you suggesting to a new user to build from source when he can’t run a couple of commands?
