If one distro is supposed to be incompatible with others, we should talk about individual distro, not Linux. But even if I were to grant you that, there's so many ways in which I've had to install things over the years.
1. apt
2. .deb files
3. Ubuntu Software center
4. tar.gz
5. curl > sh
6. Docker
7. Flatpack
8. Snap
9. Compile it myself
On Windows it's usually just an installer. On Mac you either you brew, or drag a binary file into your applications directory.
Power and hardware is absolutely worse on Linux. I still dual boot on all my machines, so I can make direct comparisons on the same hardware. This isn't just an x86 problem.
I agree that we desperately need a solution.
