And that turned out to be a blatant lie. You don't like systemd? Then you're out of luck. You want to keep cdrtools instead of its mediocre fork wodim? Have fun building it yourself and fighting it through against dpkg/rpm. You like OpenOffice more than LibreOffice? Well, your distributor knows better, what is good for you...
Or you go with Windows or OS X and just install whatever you want, right from the developer's website, ready to go. Funnily enough, side-loading recent open source application software is a lot easier on Windows and OS X than on Linux.
