Well, if you’re going to use Linux, you’ll have to open up the terminal once in a while. A lot of apps I use on a daily basis are available through snap:

Find snaps - Linux software in the Snap Store

Those commands are pretty straightforward. Installing Spotify for example:

$ snap install spotify

That’s all there is to it really. The good thing about installing software this way is that you can remove it with a similar command:

$ snap remove spotify

That’s something I always missed on macOS, where I used AppZapper to do the job. In theory, it’s sufficient to move an application to the trash on macOS, but in practice, that’s not always the case.

With Pop!_OS, no terminal is needed to install the OS. Especially with 18.04, they did a great job on the new installer. You’re up and running in no time.

But if you dislike the terminal, you should take a look at elementaryOS. That’s one of the cleanest and most user friendly Linux distributions I tried. They even have a GUI for installing snaps.
