>>1698515The package manager is here so you can't fuck up your system installing some warez downloaded from shitty sites.
If you are smart enough, and if you aren't install e.g. a full DE, you can install what you want without the package manager, just caring to check dependencies, if existing.
If you want to install everything you want (crapware, malware, and so on, Crome included), just stay with Windows. You don't have to think, just click on a fancy icon.
If you trust only the big software house, stay with Apple or Google, with its Android. You don't have to think, just click on a nice icon.
But if you want to THINK before installing anything, well you can use Linux, BSD, or *nix related.
Last line: everyone that install Crome (and the Cromium derivates) on a Linux PC is a really dumb one.
