From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This was no accident. They want you to install apps via their walled garden snap store.
Which is by almost all means better than downloading a random crap of a package from the web because "that's how it's done on wondows". Seriously, distributing software via repositories is like second most important reason the situation with malware isn't the same on the desktop Linux market (the first being small market share). And nope, that's not because Linux is somehow "more secure", which it isn't.
