> How bad would it suck if every Python app you installed needed to have its own venv for example?
I would love to have that. Actually that's what I do: I avoid distribution software as much as possible and install it in venvs and similar ways.

I’d estimate most Unix distributions are used in one 3 ways:
- a technical application maintained by a tech savvy admin or a team of them, this would primarily be server usage. - desktop usage by a developer. - a restricted installation on older hardware for a non-tech savvy person. Their user account probably shouldn’t be given permission to install new software so none of this has any relevance to them.
You average non-technical user certainly isn’t running Debian.
Hahahaha surely you're being daft on purpose pretending you don't know there's a GUI to do this right? https://apps.kde.org/it/discover/

And you know this how? The same way you absolutely knew there's no GUI for apt? :D
Also just fyi, IT employees don't have unlimited time, so they'd rather use apt than whatever weird sequence of steps you devised to install your own application.
