Why the Linux ecosystem cannot be considered "standardized", unlike Windows and Mac?

It all comes down to

  1. User Interface (linux is just not as easy to use as e.g. MacOS)
  2. Applications/Software (yes there is a flatpack (and others) store but it‘s not nearly as usable as Mac App store/windows store
  3. Installation (Most laptops/desktops don‘t have linux as base Model Option)
  4. Security and setup - in Mac or Windows the UI is a base component you mostly cannot destroy using one line of Terminal code
  5. the most user „friendly“ Part of Windows/mac you don‘t have to use terminal, but for linux you Most likely have to

i love mac, but windows in comparison to linux is still more „user friendly“ sadly
