As someone who’s never used Linux, TIL that software doesn’t work across all flavours of Linux.
Windows kind of has that too, with all the .MSI, .exe, .msix and all the appxpackages and how almost none of that works out of the box anymore because you’d otherwise be able to install another browser without opening edge once
I’m a Mac user, so they made it as simple as possible for our simple brains. That said, no old 32bit Steam games for me ☹️

last time I used Mac, I still need to go online and grab the dmg file myself, since most app is not avaliable in the app store, like jetbrains app and adobe apps.

Is it still the case?

Yeah, that’s most often the case. I very rarely install from the App Store unless the software I’m after has a link on their site.
