Software installation in Linux

I'm tired of people that know nothing about Linux saying that they can't install software!
In this video you see that installing an application is as easy as running an exe.
Program installation files that are .rpm , .ymp, .deb install with ease.
You can also install software via the terminal or "Add/Remove" from the GUI if you choose.

@Arjun007ize

You don't mount .rpm files you install them.

I install an .rpm file you use a command like: rpm -ivh rpmfilename.rpm

@upallhours9 this is a very easy task after 6 years

@Danster82 I can't really agree because sometimes you have to go into "regedit" or use "cmd" aka msdos prompt within Windows.

@vwbond im just referring to mass scale for end users, which it seems is what Ubuntu and mint are trying to achieve. As soon as there is no need to ever type a command, use a terminal and so on then Ubuntu will take off.

I think what a developer doesnt understand is as soon as clicking a button doesnt produce the desired result the non technical user has no other recourse its a complete dead end.

@Danster82 Linux is already on a massive scale within server rooms. The ymp files are used with OpenSUSE-what version are you running. It's very easy to install software.

[Danster82]

Linux will never take off on a mass scale until this is resolved, its ridiculous how hard it is to install software, right now I have a ymp file I click it and it opens a text editor with pages of text.... great.

Hey vwbond, it would be great if you showed everyone how to get the codecs you need to play DVD's in Fedora. I think a lot of people are unpleasantly surprised when they try to play a movie after installation.
