Linux desktop needs consistency and freedom (yes, open source desktop needs freedom).

Freedom of updating and installing newer versions of software without waiting for maintainer/distro half of year to build new package (outdated next week because it's STABLE package).

This is main problem of any linux desktop initiative - linux users get newer gimp after windows users.

Hope snaps/flatpack/appimage solve this problem in future (snap versions of apps look ugly now).
