When I was a beginner and used Linux Mint, I downloaded deb files, and even rpm files that I converted to deb, because I didn’t know what package manager means
I didn’t actually mean that you install deb packages from the internet, I mean debian based distros, I just don’t know the acronym for it.
and AFAIK mx linux and LMDE have programs with a GUI for installing packages, and I added debian because it has a gui installer and I don’t know a good third debian based distro
this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro’s package manager
also last I checked apt hasn’t stopped being a cli over the years
This meme reeks of someone who’s only used linux for a week and has no clue what he’s talking about.
You can also use any of the packagekit gui’s such as gnome software or kde diskover
They are both terrible. Synaptic is the only one worth using on debian based distros.
the mint gui package manager is ok
