Poor Linux distros. They try so hard. Nobody ever makes installers for Linux software (they don't even provide binaries unless it costs $1000+.) So the distros do their best to compile, test and maintain neat, orderly package repositories that won't vomit all over your filesystem and don't have tons of bugs and backdoors. And for this they are chastised, because it takes time to prepare a release. Meanwhile, Apple can take their sweet time with App Store approval, reject anything they want, not even give you the _option_ of installing things the hard way, and for this they are applauded. Clearly what Linux needs is more shiny buttons and less freedom.
