These apps look very nice, I am happy to see this movement. But this is HN so ... allow me to go a bit off topic and complain.
Why is is so freaking hard to install an app on Linux (Ubuntu)? There's nothing in the software center, and when I find an app I want I am just pointed to a .tar.gz or something. I want a file I can double-click and end up with a launchable icon representing that app in my dock later. I would also like to be able to update that app easily in the future. I have yet to have this experience with an app I wanted despite using Ubuntu for years.
This is why I have given up and just started using Windows with WSL. Then I can have all the command-line tools I like and also a sane app installation experience.
