I don't really like the way software installation is centralized on Linux.

you have to interact with their 'trusted sources'.

I would prefer if it was easier to simply run an executable file on my personal Linux machine.

I'm sorry but which is it? Do you want centralized software installation (this is literally how all of Microsoft Windows works.) Or do you want independent release software? (Those are the 'trusted sources' you seem to detest.)

And there are plenty of programs that run as an independent file on Linux, installers even. They just aren't labeled .exe.

Either you want Linux and want independent control of your desktop system and environment or you want to be spoonfed everything as a Windows or OSX user. So which is it??
