Why can't linux come up with similar system as Apple Disk Image, something that just works without you learning entire new system on every distro? Is it bad to be user friendly and more centralized?

Apple's "installers" literally copy shit to the hard disk and create a mess of folders

you missed the part in which you spend 5 minutes opening Safari then going to the developer's website to get the DMG file then fooling in the System Settings to allow applications from outside the app store to be ran and installed.

>why can these multiple operating systems I listed not use the same system as this other operating system I selected arbitrarily?
You're right, that's why Apple computers should use dpkg. After all, having 1 unified system would be ideal instead of having to learn a million.
>also implying you can't compile from source or install python pip packages on Mac OS

>>107731387
Literally nobody use anything that goes beyond than appimage or flatpak, unless it is an old app
>>107731852
>also implying you can't compile from source
Normies will never do it, aka the target audience for Apple products

>>107731410
and Macports
and macos .pkg installers which are functionally the same to .msi installers
>>
use the gui package manager that came with your distro
