That's a pretty bad point you made there. Imagine having to google for each app on your smartphone and tell me how that's better.

What about the scammy search results that point to malware infected sites?

What about stability and security updates for the software you obtained that way? Every software will have it's own update mechanism, if there's one at all.

How is it not better to install or update all software on the computer with a single click or command?

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.
