Oh look, another noob thinking he's talking about GNU while actually fighting a completely fictional strawman he pulled out of his ass.
/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread
For instance...
Debian and debian based distros censor the amount of software that is FREELY available in the main public repo's to its users. The users have to either add untrusted potential attack vectors or manage their own out of tree insecure versions locally.
Distros are mostly just making this or that job easy.
And yea, that tends to mainly reflect in the package manager.
Pick one that does what you want it to do.
Which is completely different from
>limiting software that users can install
If someone had a goal to create a repository of games you'd probably be complaining about them rejecting other software and cry that it's limiting you, right?
Well their goal is to create a repository of free software. What's wrong with that? It's their fucking repository and they can put whatever they want into it. Or would you rather take away their freedom to choose what software goes in their repository?
The criteria for inclusion into Debian's repository are these:
debian.org
Any user can install from any other repository or individual packages with the usual tooling, as they wish - there is really no obstacle worth mentioning there. Debian is just not maintaining these.
