How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

I don't like tinkering, I want to download something and it works.

And this is what's keeping Linux at bay. Normies are that to the extreme. They want something that is as simple and resilient as possible, they couldn't care less about the dependencies or even know what they are. They want ~~a program~~ an app and just install it from an "app store" if possible.
