Imagine your OS being so shitty 3rd party developers have to go through painstaking efforts to enable you to distribute binary executables. You know, something even MS-DOS did with zero problems.

.deb and .rpm have existed for ages, it's the incompetence of third-party developers, and the fact that distro maintainers generally don't let the garbage malware most of them ship into official repos, thats the problem here. Appimage, flatpak, and snap are regressions to the worse way of doing things.
Jonathan Lee
Yeah then why are they more popular than the fucking official repos?
Oh, that's right. Because they're universal. You Lincucks will never learn.

No, because people assume that the moronic way they got used to on windows is the best way there is. Give them everything in a distribution repo that's one apt-get away, and they'll insist on running off to random shady sites to download buggy garbage, because that's the way they've always done it.

Yeah Linux sucks ass Lol.
Its for fucking retards with no jobs and nothing better to do. Its really a waste of time. Only good for servers.

Linux distros have first party package managers.
Imagine decades of dozens of 3rd party installers and 3rd party package managers, like on Windows and OSX.

>painstaking efforts
Are you fucking retarded? Packing an Appimage is trivial as fuck. You can always make an .sh script for installing your shit.

Linux is for servers.

It's very simple. You provide one downloadable rpm for the repo. Then you host the rpms of your actual software on your server so your users can install it and get updates down the line. Even NVIDIA managed to do it for their drivers.
>Windows/macOS
Imagine having to implement your own auto updater in your software that polls your servers all the time but only when the program is open

Fucking meme
BSD is for servers
Linux is for webshit and desktops
You can use BSD for the same shit too
OSuX and wangblows are for the trash compactor and nothing else
Charles Cox
It is. What were you gonna do? What I described is probably even simpler than packaging your software in .exe or .msi installers, as you don't have to implement all the garbage like checking for existing installations and automatic updates yourself.
Leo Lewis
There wouldn't be any problems if debian stable was the only linux distribution ever.
Sebastian Martin
in case you hadn't noticed, distributions other than Debian maintain their own repos, and quite good ones too.
Jacob Rogers
Why would there be other distros than debian? I'd rather have working software than potentially 5% faster potentially running software.
It should be like compiling for windows or mac.

Decent example is Arch Linux or Manjaro repos.
Kept up to date pretty well from my personal experience.
