I had to walk a classmate through how to install a program in Windows. You know, go to the website, hit download, wait for it to finish, next next next, etc. We're two weeks away from getting our diplomas. In IT.
Is this actually how it still works on windows? Like it has not evolved since the 90s?
package managers technically exist, including Microsoft's own winget, and if you're on windows they're a decent choice, though they do come with a multitude of issues
there's even a decent ish package manager GUI called unigetui
Plus 1 for uni get. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good.
