That’s the lemmy echo chamber. Poll a hundred people on how to get a program onto a computer without a browser and I’d be surprised if five people answered something other than a disk or that it’s impossible
These days, they are probably not even going to answer with that. Optical media is almost dead now.
Thumb drive then
Even saying "with a package manager" it's much easier to have a browser to make a search to know what you want to enter to install using the package manager!
I'm sure many Linux users would be dead in the water if they were provided a computer with a distro without a browser/GUI package manager and no alternative way to access the internet.
