I agree with you, but I don't think GNU/Linux can compete with Windows at that point. The things you wrote about should have been implemented in most distro years ago.

If you speak about this in /r/linux, the people there will tell you that "if people are not willing to learn how to use the terminal to install apps, then they're just lazy/too stupid". This is the kind of mentality we're dealing with and that's why there's 288 ditros without any chance of mass adoption.
