    Windows is basically: download the installer, run it, and boom you’re good to go.

    Linux distros typically have 2-3 different ways to install applications and multiple mechanisms for updating/maintaining, where most of the good ones are non graphical. It’s confusing for even experienced users let alone someone who doesn’t know what a “package” is.

    Say I want to uninstall something, I need to know how it was installed (apt? Snap? Flatpak? Manual build from source?) in order to do so. On windows, they have a registration scheme where installers log to a common OS level application management on what to run to uninstall.
