Most GNU/Linux OS distros are just skins (Rice up the GUI + Drop a wallpaper pack = call it an OS). Too many resources are wasted to this endeavor, while neglecting core components that will attract more users. I'd say less than 20% of distros actually work and innovate, the rest? Ricing / Skinning.

• Scoop

  A command-line installer for Windows.

  

Remember I said they fail to react? It's 2021 and the cult following still thinks you cannot install applications under windows using the windows terminal. Yeah, that's right. They still think under windows you need to go to a website, download an EXE, and then go through multiple dialogs. Completely ignoring projects like ninite, scoop, chocolatey, and winget. So one of their biggest selling points it's GONE! The failing to react continues... windows WSL allows users to install GNU/Linux with full GUI support under windows. Let that sink in. Windows can do, whatever you want to do under Linux and NOT lose any compatibility what so ever. Wanna play a game? GO FOR IT! Wanna use proprietary software for productivity? GO FOR IT! Wanna use open source gnu/Linux software? GO FOR IT! wanna use Linux terminal apps? GO FOR IT! That's the death sentence for the GNU/Linux desktop environment. Wanna use GNU/Linux software that has a GUI? GO FOR IT!
