Looks like you wrote this "fairytale" using a tech dictionary full of fancy words without fully understanding each of the concepts or how stuff actually works and what is actually possible and makes sense. Nothing is that simple, even if you don't go into technological stuff which you shouldn't, it's still not simple. But don't worry, the post is not a waste, I had a really nice laugh!
>From what you wrote you seem like slightly above average computer user. The problem is that average computer user doesn't know what he needs and wants. Even a lot "power-users" don't know what they want. That's why a lot of OS and different distributions come with fair share of pre-installed stuff. What you proposed has been around for a long time. You can build your own Linux system starting with just kernel, you can even customize the kernel to just have just what you need. 99.9% of users don't have knowledge to do that. From other side there's Apples app store which works exactly like you stated. The more customization you want the more you actually have to know about the system and computer technology in general and it takes time, a lot of time. And most people don't have this knowledge, they just want product which does what they need it to do out of box. I could go on and on about this but it doesn't mater because there's no ideal OS or best path. As for other part of your wall of text, I have no comment except a simple "LOL". It's simply wrong, it doesn't work like that in real life. It's just mix of misused fancy words and buzzwords. Even if what you proposed worked in some imaginary world it wouldn't stop bad people from doing bad stuff. Oh yeah, linux has close to none viruses as you experience them on windows and YsST isn't confused, you are.
