On macOS: A wonderful app, thanks to Marc Culler. On Windows: Too complex for my far from savvy students. We are stuck with SageMath 9.3 for the time being.
On Linux: It depends on the distribution, some have totally outdated versions (as seen now and then in messages to sage-support). Most people are unable to build SageMath from scratch, or to use Conda, or VMs, or dockers, or whatever. In 2022, anybody should be able to get SageMath with a regular installation procedure. In my opinion, "Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab" means also "as easy to install as Magma, Maple, Mathematica and MATLAB". But I do not know if we have the people and the time for it.
