Linux would do so much better if they'd update their fucking packet managers with the latest versions of software and make them more graphical and user-friendly. So many damn times I've had to search through websites to find the most updated version of software, then install from command line or even compile programs. The general public doesn't want to fuss with all that bullshit, they just want it to look good and be able to click next and install.

Stop trying to make the general public use the command line, it's not gonna happen.

The latest of everything is only available in "tarballs" or somesuch: What am I supposed to do with them? Where do you put them? I don't even know where the old firefox is/was (is it still there?), and now I have an un-zipped thing in my "home directory"...
