Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills

Rather you enter a command line that tells Linux to connect to the repository (like an app store) of that particular type of Linux, pull the latest installation file and install it.
You can still download the file and install it directly, but it’s not a straightforward double click like on windows.

It’s not a GUI?

There are GUI wrappers that issue the equivalent commands for you, but a lot of Linux users would just write something like this on the command line:
sudo apt install vlc
That’s how you would install VLC (media player) on Debian linux. Other types of Linux have their own commands.
