>"! Distros' repositories do not contain all available open source software (libraries' conflicts don't even allow that luxury). The user should never be bothered with using ./configure && make && make install (besides, it's insecure, can break things in a major way, and it sometimes simply doesn't work because the user cannot install/configure dependencies properly). It should be possible to install any software by downloading a package and double clicking it (yes, like in Windows, but probably prompting for a user/administrator password).Linux distros. ! Applications development is a major PITA. Different distros can use a) different library versions, b) different compiler flags, c) different compilers. This leads to a number of problems raised to the third power." I don't know that I can help with the other problems enumerated; but... NixOS -- goes a long way toward solving the exact problems quoted above! Now, NixOS does come with a bit of a learning curve however -- so it's not recommended for all types of users! If a user has put in the prerequisite time and energy to learn Unix/Linux -- then with the additional time/effort to learn NixOS -- they can largely be free of the above problems -- which are well-known to the Linux software development community at this point in time... Perhaps it's worth a look? https://nixos.org/ https://nixos.org/
