Using Elementary OS 5 Juno.
I have tried to install discord earlier and had the same problem, I download the .deb that supposedly should simply open the gdebi package installer, and it does, then I click install package and it closes without doing anything, I had to try for a few hours different things to get discord installed, now I am trying to install Visual Studio Code and I have the same issue, I download the .deb, click install package and the software is just like "thank you for clicking on install, I will just close without throwing any error nor any tips on why I refuse to install your package"

but I don't get what is the point of gdebi if it just can't install my packages.

  • Linux is the kernel, you have problems with your distribution called Elementary. (which is a small project and i don't recommend to use) So Linux, the kernel is very good at its own and doesn't require any improve.

  • I actually had the same problem with Ubuntu, so this is an Ubuntu problem apparently since Elementary is Ubuntu based, but my point is all distros are not beginner friendly, they all require some terminal usage which is why I prefer to be away from it. On my servers it is ok to use linux, I use CentOS on them, I have no choice but to use a terminal and that is perfectly fine, but on my personal computer I wish I could just do things without thinking...

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux
