If only it was that easy on Linux
I'd say
{insert package manager} install blenderis easier.I don't really like the way software installation is centralized on Linux. It feels like, Windows being the proprietary system, they don't really care about how you get things to run. Linux the other hand cares about it a lot. Either you have to write your own software or interact with their 'trusted sources'.
I would prefer if it was easier to simply run an executable file on my personal Linux machine.
You can still do that on Linux. Just download it and run. You can even compile it from source if that's your thing.
However, because there is a much greater variety of Linux distros and dependencies compared to Windows or MacOS versions, it's better to either have a Flatpak, AppImage, or package from your distro's repo. That way you're ensured that it will work without too much fiddling around.
