What the fuck are you talking about? No one downloads software from GitHub on Linux unless they're doing some really fringe, custom shit. Linux users detest randomly downloaded software from the internet (which is effectively the ONLY way of getting software on Windows, btw). We want all software to be managed by our package managers.
Also, lol on "software purchase". What software are you buying on Linux?
