And that is what I love, and why we have such great Linux desktop environments. Competition drives innovation. Just compare it to the cr*p Windows 10 interface or MacOS interface. At one stage the latter two were all about consistency, Human Interface Guidelines across the board etc. Now they are the most inconsistent environments of all, and by far the most bland and uninspiring! Yes, I work on FreeBSD, Windows and MacOS on a daily basis, so it is very easy for me to compare them all.
Linux package managers have made great strides in easing the installation of software. I always felt "app bundles" could be an addition to that, but it seems most of the community don't agree. Then again, things evolve over time, so maybe there is a possibility this time round.
