It seems that with Ubuntu et al, effort is put into the OS but it does

left to their own devices. Without applications, the OS is useless.

Those who are preoccupied with the niceties of the OS are a bit like
Hi-fi enthusiasts of old, whose idea of a perfect system was one where
you put an unrecorded disc on the turntable, turn the gain up full, and
