Downloading applications via a package manager is basically the same as downloading applications on your phone via an &quot;App Store&quot; application. (Especially if you are using a package manager with a GUI)<p>Millions of people use app stores everyday. And I&#x27;d say a huge percentage of those people are the ones who would also download a program on their PC from download.com<p>Which sounds more accessible:<p><pre><code>  1) click package-manger program
  2) type the name of the program you want to install
  3) click install

  OR

  1) open web browser
  2) go to http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yahoo.com
  3) type google
  4) click the first link
  5) google &quot;download program_i_want&quot;
  6) click on link leading to &quot;www.download.com&#x2F;malware&#x2F;viruses&#x2F;tracking&#x2F;program_i_want&quot;
  7) stare at the dozen different DOWNLOAD! buttons, and wonder which one
  8) click the biggest flashiest one
  9) wait for it to finish downloading
    (if it doesn&#x27;t automatically start and installer)
    a)open File explorer
    b)Go to Downloads folder
    c)wade through the hundreds of other downloads until you find kd457sfjgs_download_app_i_want_setup_INSTALLER.exe.EXE
  10)Once the installer is started click the NEXT button a dozen times, inadvertently installing extra malware each time</code></pre>
