    Sadly enough, the same is applicable for regular programs…

    If it were only this hard for bad stuff, you might have a point, but this also being an issue for good stuff is why linux is such a PITA to use…

      Yeah, but it makes me feel smart when I get it working even though I’m running off the back of 100s of other users that are actually smart and listed out the steps online.

        Honestly that does make you smart, as far as computer users go. Being able to distinguish good advice from malicious advice is something a lot of people can’t do, otherwise those scam sites hawking ‘tools’ (malware) to fix some random windows problem wouldn’t exist.
