   "With Linux, almost every application you are going to run is provided   
   by your distribution. … Windows and macOS users are accustomed to   
   browsing the web, looking for applications, clicking a download link,   
   and running an installer. With Linux we skip all of that. We can open   
   the software centre (or "app store") and find just about anything we need."   
      
   Sounds very Mac- (or modern-Windows-)like to me. (I don't _want_ to   
   "skip all that".)   
      
   And of course it hasn't caught up with ESU, implying it still needs   
   minor hoop-jumping (which AIUI is now not the case for many).
