You know Ubuntu has an app store, right? The apps from the repos appear there, too. All one-click install.

PPAs are for developers and enthusiasts, normal people isn't meant to use them, but even then there is a graphical PPA manager floating around, and you can also manage them graphically from the good ol' Synaptic although this option is slightly less straightforward.

A lot of bloggers and tutorial writters post lines to be entered into the terminal, but that's not because you have to use the terminal, you don't have to, they just think it's easier for you to copy/paste a line than for them to explain where to click.

Hell, app stores and repositories have been in Linux long before they were in Windows or OS X. One click, simple
