    You can blindly download and install things from the internet on Windows, you can’t in Linux. If you try, it’ll be confusing at best, destructive at worst. If you want to install something, best to look for it in your GUI software manager (the “app store”)

    If you’re up for the challenge (it’s extremely tedious to set up, partially thanks to its horrid instructions), you can try installing winapps. It’ll save you a lot of time with running Windows programs

      This is not totally true. Deb packages will just activate the package manager and will mimic the feel of installing something on windows.

        Bazzite is based on fedora atomic, which means I don’t get debs and have to deal with flatpak, brew and distrobox

        Okay, I kinda do get debs through the last one… I think. I’ve never used db before, my experience comes mostly from Ubuntu and Pop_OS!
