This is why Linux is a joke

Anyone can maintain those binaries, though. The person who wrote the software doesn't have to do it.

Unless you know, you're a one man team

this is not true

Anyone can take the source code and compile it for their distro of choice, then maintain that binary in their repos.

>(x86 or x64)
There is no x64. You just mean 64-bit x86.

if you're a one man team why do you care about binary compatibility with all the distros? just provide the source code and if someone from bumfuck OS wants to use it he can compile it himself

What do you have to trust them with, really? As long as the source code is open anyone could do that with or without your permission.
