Features macOS should copy from Linux

With a little help from Linux, MacOS could become an even bigger force.

For years, I've wished I could install different desktop environments on MacOS, similar to GNOME, KDE Plasma, Enlightenment, etc. There are the GUI package managers (such as Software and Discover) but there's also the command line (with the likes of apt, dnf, pacman, zypper, etc.). If MacOS had something similar to apt, it would make installing, removing, updating, and purging applications so much easier (at least for those who prefer the command line).
