And the Windows "Programs and Features" GUI shows only a small number

It's pathetic.

Q:	How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
A:	Whereas the party of the first part, also known as "Lawyer", and the
party of the second part, also known as "Light Bulb", do hereby and forthwith
agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part shall be removed
from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed
upon duties, i.e., the lighting, elucidation, and otherwise illumination of
the area ranging from the front (north) door, through the entryway, terminating
at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of
the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the
second part and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the
parties.
	The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be
limited to, the following.  The party of the first part shall, with or without
elevation at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder or any other
means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part and rotate the party
of the second part in a counter-clockwise direction, this point being tendered
non-negotiable.  Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part
becomes fully detached from the receptacle, the party of the first part shall
have the option of disposing of the party of the second part in a manner
consistent with all relevant and applicable local, state and federal statutes.
Once separation and disposal have been achieved, the party of the first part
shall have the option of beginning installation.  Aforesaid installation shall
occur in a manner consistent with the reverse of the procedures described in
step one of this self-same document, being careful to note that the rotation
should occur in a clockwise direction, this point also being non-negotiable.
The above described steps may be performed, at the option of the party of the
first part, by any or all agents authorized by him, the objective being to
produce the most possible revenue for the Partnership.

What a load of crap the owl troll spews. I use Linux Mint. My 83 year-old 
Dad uses Linux Mint. He doesn't have to bring it over for malware 
maintenance because it works (unlike the malware magnet / bitrot magnet 
Windows Crap). If he wants to see what GUI programs he has loaded, he 
clicks the Menu button, clicks All under Applications and scrolls down 
the list. Or he can Click the Menu button, then click Software Manager, 
where he graphically views all installed programs by category -- or all 
available programs by category. He can also install from the same GUI 
Software Manager. I'm sure other distributions of Linux have similar 
capabilities -- either pre-installed or available for installation. How 
much more dishonest can these small-minded, lying trolls be?

Didn't you once claim you sent your relatives new Windows PC because it was
easier than debugging their problems?
I seems to remember that.

What crap did I spew, ronb?  Maybe you should learn how to

My 80-year old dad also runs Mint.  Before that he ran Ubuntu.
Before that it he ran SuSE.  I weaned him off Windows over 15
years ago.

Having to use a Terminal and arcane command to see what software you've 
installed surely is pathetic.

Thinking that you have to use a Terminal and arcane command to see what
software you've installed in Linux is pathetic, bigot.

He's a know-nothing, a liar, and a k00k.  A bigot.  A racist.  A nasty human
being. Better you should ignore his miserable misguided ravings.

However, if you want to save the state of your installed software, and use
it to automatically reinstall all of your software to a new installation of
Debian (something that Windows doesn't even come close to doing -- you have
to use a product like Ghost, and I'm not sure that will work on a different
piece of hardware without some major handsprings), you can indeed use the
command-line to streamline the process:

   https://wiki.debian.org/ListInstalledPackages

The power of that process is well worth the little bit of "scary"
command-line usage you need.

He was always getting stuff screwed up, so mainly what I had to do was
fix his screwups.  As for malware, I had installed malwarebytes and
avast on his machine.  Whenever I ran a scan on the machine, it would
always find a bunch of crap, so...

I don't anticipate any more whining, since he's no longer on doze.

A few.  But I told them they'd probably never need to use it.

PackageSpec is not an available field here.  ${Package} works.
Oh, and of course "-d" needs a delimiter.

Well, Windows 10 is to be the last Windows, so I guess they've given
up on trying to compete with Linux on the Desktop.

You mean any Windows, don't you? Like how Microsoft products like Office
keep their "modern" look even when you change the desktop to the "Classic"
theme?  How Windows changes its look and feel almost from version to
version?  How keystrokes, menu entries, "charms", and hot spots come and go,
apparently at the whim of either a marketer or some grunt programmer?

And have you ever seen the user-interface and 10-pounds-of-bologna in a
2-pound sack that is Visual Studio?  What a farrago!

countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere
if they don't get it.

Why do you stick with MS development if you hate Windows and VS so much, 
Creepy?  'Cause you have no balls, of course.

Don;t know, actually I just install in vbox then delete ;)
What is inconsistent in win8-10 are "classic" apps and "modern apps".
Also "desktop" and modern something.
In 10 they are trying to integrate both desktops into one and they use
menu for that which is ugly and *inconsistent*...
then again someone sane provided windows for modern apps, as who would
like full screen app on 27" screen ;)

Oh, dear.  That's about as bad as it gets, as far as a consistent user
experience, now isn't it?

I've had a chance to play with 10 a little bit.  It is ugly, with that
massive set of black space, filled with tiles, popping-out at you.  Of
course, the default tiles are filled with crap that would take a while
to clean up.  And an alphabetical list of apps...  Shite!

And if anyone is wondering if the "committee" in Redmond still thinks
that it's best to hide file extensions...  yes, they do.

>then again someone sane provided windows for modern apps, as who would

That was the "committee approved" design, man!  We all know that what
the "committee" decides is the one "best" choice, right?
