Yes, I agree, that is my impression too.

Yes, that too.

I know that. I understood what you wrote. You don't need to explain it
to me again.

What I am saying is that this is /not good advice./

The OP is apparently something of a Linux novice; suggesting
installing entire other complex suites of software just to get a
feature that the desktop they already have actually supports is not
constructive or helpful. It is akin to answering the question "how to
I open the fuel cap on my Vauxhall car?" with "trade it in for a BMW."

Do you see what I mean?
