Installing stuff needs to not be a hostile moonscape of cobbled instructions and deciphering terminal matrix-speak.
Double click to install for everything, good (as opposed to existent) GUIs for everything, one-click updates all in one place. Leave the obscure terminal stuff in forever, so the big dick terminal folk can clack away and do everything they want that way. No reason to remove any of it; it’s an awesome option to have.
It’s too difficult to recommend wholeheartedly on its own merits because of random 10,000% drops in usability. It’s not super far from living up to its ideals more fully, though. Well…it feels that way to me, but maybe those problems don’t make the amount of work to fix them obvious.
I’ll never leave it because it’s clearly the way to go, but with a little attitude solving, Linux could be the god damn best on every front, as opposed to “best overall mostly because the others are spying shitty money addicts trying to ruin your computer on purpose”.
