Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch; many Linux distributions provide excellent curated software repositories that just work for general purpose software. Have done so for well over a decade. All without locking the user out of his own computer.

And of course Steam, GoG, and the HumbleStore provide curated repositories for proprietary games on many platforms.

Steam is far less curated these days than 2-3 years ago
