    and that is where the app store model shines, you just search and click install, everyone can figure that out.

    This is how linux works for last 30 years…

      Except now you dont need to worry about outdated software even on a super stable base. You get proper permission control and a mispackaged app cannot break the entire system.

        How did this come up in discussion?

        Anyway. Mispackaged app may also include broken permission control.

        • How did this come up in discussion?

          Because permission control is what most people expect on phone application, which is another way linux has great default UX that is similar to what happens on phones.

          Finally, I don’t think a mispackaged app is supposed to be able to break out of the application sandbox, unless some bug is exploited.

          Unless you are referring to the fact that some app are packaged with overly-permissive default permissions. But most people can change the default permission, and only grant permissions that makes sense.
