Screenshot of Octopi Package Manager installed on CachyOS (previously the default before being replaced by Shelly). OP has searched for microsoft-edge. No results are returned.
OP has drawn a circle around a button in the image of an alien head with an arrow pointing to it. Under the arrow is “???”.
Caption at the bottom of the image reads: “Microsoft edge and google chrome don’t show up in neither of cachyos’ software stores out of the box. On octopi you can make it show up by pressing the weird alien head icon. “Mysteriously” firefox shows up on both stores immediately without clicking any obscure buttons. This is either extremely terrible i design or a deliberate sabotage attempt against microsoft and google from loonix devs, possibly sponsored by mozilla.”
Context:
OP is an idiot because these browsers would not be available due to restrictions required by Microsoft and Google to share their software, which is why nothing shows up when searching the installed repositories. Note that Chromium, the base for Edge and Chrome is available on the default repository.
The alien head icon searches the AUR (Arch User Repository) a place for users to add packages, often mirrored from GitHub, which would show Edge and Chrome as a user has ported it over unofficially. Because the AUR consists of unofficial packages, it is not part of the default repositories, and requires additional confirmation before installation.
Note that when installing from the AUR, it is always important to read what you are compiling as packages are not checked for malicious code. See recent news regarding compromised packages that weren’t maintained.

This is funny as shit
Guess we’re already at the point where people make up wild conspiracy theories just to criticize Firefox.
Because it’s a circlejerk sub. It’s meant to be funny
It’s not, check it out…
How much did mozilla pay you to say that?
You’ll notice another blatant act of sabotage: LibreOffice is easy to find but Word is nowhere to be found.
Did you know ?
OpenOffice is a firewall product !

For context it is a french lawmakers casually explaining that OpenOffice has a firewall… And other random bullshit.
Well I mean fire bad…
Money gooood
LINE GO UP!
Another example of how FOSS contains dark patterns and uses anti-competitive practices against big tech. Typical. /s
Dude installs Linux, 1st reflex is to try to install Edge. Dude is completely lost and should get a mac if he’s tired of Windows, so it decides everything for him.
Tbf Edge is quite a bit faster on Linux than on Windows for whatever reason.
but chromium is probably even faster. Edge is full of microslop ads and to set a empty new tab/page you need to install a plug-in (what???). Anyway this probably is rage bait anyway
What mental gymnastics does one have to do to come to that conclusion?
Going to the Microsoft gym for all their life
Believing a circlejerk sub is insane isn’t it.
Until you find out it’s not one.
Reminds me of a post I saw on here the other day.
Of course there’s always that “lol I’m just joking” until the joke becomes the new reality, but this ain’t it
I mean I’d assume anyone calling it “loonix” is circlejerking
oh dear lord
what was his defense when presented with the concept of a software license
I’m too scared to look
I’m looking at the top posts this week.
It’s a circlejerk sub.
Linucksucks is a circlejerk sub.
Taking it seriously just proves their point.
I just found out about that sub today so I’m not going to comment on it, but the post is definitely a joke/troll post (the red light emojis are so in your face that you can’t even call them clues due to how blatant they are)

Aliens’ heads are smooth and grey, just like OP’s brain.
When you believe lies, the truth seems suspicious
I actually find it kind of funny that MSFT does have an official linux release for Edge but not for Office.
It would seem like they want it to be a Windows only feature as a way to keep people on Windows, but they have a Mac release of it eith the full feature set lol.
Well, they want your browsing data for one so that would make sense, but for Office they don’t want businesses hoping to Linux to get away from Windows if the business suite was available there. Since Office is the “industry standard” they just hold it hostage. If Libre Office adoption ever takes off, I’m sure Microsoft will port it over to recoup lost revenue, but that will only happen if they get desperate.
As for Mac, they may have just broken Office for Mac for a lot of users.
We cannot let Microsoft have a monopoly… on sabotaging Microsoft.
I’mma tell my grandkids that this was the sign you had an Alienware PC.
poor wittle megacorporations
i will continue to assume they’re rdrama type noxious dipshits
r/linuxsucks is satire
Was. Also, the chans were satire. The people who can’t read satire came in after.
This is how flatearth and birdsarentreal started.
People mistook satire for the real thing, latched on, it grew grew and grew, and now here we are dealing with this shit.
I 100% see how people like Joseph Smith or Muhammad got a following. Just be super confident that you’re right, get a few followers, and build the organization from there.
Fuck, I should do that. At least I’d be somewhat sane about it.
See L. Ron Hubbard
I don’t think flat earth ever left.
Wait, there’s actually people who believe in birdsarentreal now?
Average windows user brain
