It's not from Apple but Mac OS has Macports and Brew for this just like Windows has Chocolatey
Unity makes the Linux desktop usable now, but I still wouldn't call it slick. Even if it leaned more on KDE instead of Gnome it still doesn't feel right compared to either Mac OS or Windows.
Going on a tangent, I still wish Apple would release a screenless iMac. Not as much people want or need a screenless Macbook Pro (Mac Mini) - the 16 GB RAM limit is annoying and thunderbolt is lacking as opposed to just SATA, and not as much people can justify or afford a modern Mac Pro. If Apple wanted to see the market demand for that, they should try tracking sales of used old-gen Mac Pros on ebay.

- chaostheory 10y agoNot sure why you still feel that Apple needs "an open package ecosystem" when you're already happy with homebrew. Apple computers have a lot of problems, but that isn't one of them
- thomastjeffery 10y agoFirst of all: > source based packages suck Second: The package manager only manages a subset of user-installed software. I honestly don't care much, since I don't even use OS X anymore, but I wanted to clarify this as one of many reasons why.
