I really don't care to be the guy that's like, oh, you criticized Linux, I'll point out how wrong you are, but packages? If the software you want to install is packaged, then it's easier to install than on Windows. You just open up the app store UI and click on "Install". I also have no idea why you'd need to install packages every 5 minutes.

I'd say the most prevalent issue people have with Linux, is that they need/want specific software that only runs on Windows.
