Mac is a bit fragmented too. Either you use the App Store, you download a DMG file from the developer and enable third-party unsigned code execution, install using Homebrew, or install X-Code and use Macports. Homebrew has most CLI stuff, but for apps it's just as fragmented. When it comes to uninstalling things, you "drop it in the bin", but that just deletes the executable. You may have to manually clean up stray files and folders yourself. Overall I find Linux is better in terms of software installation than Mac, but I like to call Mac "Corporately supported Unix". While I love Linux and use it often, I always have a Mac around as a backup in the event my Linux machine succumbs to entropy. A Mac may slow down for running UI systems, but anything in the CLI is rock solid, and will remain stable and usable for years. I've never had a Windows install last in a usable state for long enough. I find they succumb to system entropy far faster than any other OS.
