Install Mint. After the updates I tried to install Tailscale. Then proceed to uninstall Linux because I have install using terminal.
The second I am forced to use terminal, I'm uninstalling.

Linux has been ready since 2008. Literally not had a single real problem since Ubuntu 7.10 kept turning my monitor off while booting. Everything just works and has for 17 years now.
Every problem I see people have now (IRL not online) is 'I don't like the default theme' tier nonsense.

I worry about Wayland for the features it drops from X11. Wayland will never have xdotool support, due to its security model. I worry about onscreen keyboards for drawing tablets and screen readers for the blind.

I agree with Linus Torvalds. Linux is too fragmented. This makes consistent software deployment and support expensive and far too varied. Maintaining documentation alone requires an unlimited number of distros. From a user's perspective, I really think Linux needs a universal install method like .exe. No user should ever need to use the CLI install software, no matter their distribution. Radarr, for example, is a very popular home media server application. It is one-click install on Windows. It is fucked on Linux.
Flatpak as a software distribution solution already exists and is already widespread.
Now all we're missing is the universal enforcement piece, which I think is non-trivial. It might take off organically but as per my example above, I'm not hopeful.
"Universal enforcement" meaning what? On its face your proposal sounds fundamentally antithetical to what linux is. It's an open source environment, meaning literally anyone can create software and post it online. Are you wanting all directories to only accept flatpak? I don't think that would go over well.
You highlight the issue: Linux users like it to be fragmented. So unless Valve forces consolidation, it will stay a mess, and it will continue to repel average users. If that's what we want, cool. Let's just stop calling every year the year of Linux, because that will never be the case.
