    I'd like to see a way of installing applications that isn't needlessly restrictive. Something like AppImage, only actually used.

    Pretty much everything made by Adobe and Microsoft (but I can sort of live without the ones from Microsoft). Honestly, if Adobe made a Linux distribution as part of Creative Suite (which I would think wouldn't even be hard for them to port to Linux) I bet they could make a strong running taking over the desktop operating system market.

  Ubuntu does not define Linux. There's plenty of other, well-maintained distros.

Ubuntu not only came (or still comes?) with an Amazon app right on the launcher, but also offered Amazon product suggestions when you were using the search function.
