I remember using slapt-get when I used Slackware and that alleviated most of this sort of issue. Is that not still a thing?
Slackware was my first distro coming from Windows. I would get so frustrated when I wanted to install some software and I had to download it, open the cli, run some commands, check for dependencies, etc. I thought it was completely idiotic. Why couldn't you just click on the file and install it. I thought, "no wonder no one uses Linux."
Then a friend showed me slapt install, slapt update, and slapt upgrade. It was absolutely amazing. I wondered why Windows was so far behind.
There they fixed it!... sorta 😬
