As someone who’s used debian based distros for 20+ years now, I see no issue with this. ;)
I use Debian btw
Only problem is remembering to keep it updated.
Well the solution here is to just use the superior distro, naturally.
This post will surely upset nobody.
the superior distro
Finally, puppy linux is getting the recognition it deserves
That’s where the AUR comes in. Some neckbeard somewhere has already made an AUR package of that.
Shit half the time it’s right in the main repo under Extra.
Then we should appreciate them. Is it fair to call them neckbeards when they toil away at the code coalface for our benefit?
Even worse: the .deb file’s dependences are only available in a specific version of Ubuntu LTS or with PPAs.
With my finger on the trigger / I run dot slash configure / yo this package is big / but my package is bigger
I don’t know what the Linux community’s consensus on appimages are, but I wouldn’t mind if people made more appimages because, for the few distros I’ve used, appimages just usually work.
AppImages are definitely convient to use. However the two issues I have with them are that there’s no easy way to find them (eg flathub) and they’re not automatically integrated with the DE. Requiring a tool that manages AppImages to make it easier.
Appimages are supposed to be distributed the same way Windows and Mac software is distributed, that’s kind of the point.
As for management, I agree distros should ship with an appimage manager.
I don’t care I use Arch BTW. Someone would have made a AUR package for it by now.
ahem ahem discord
It is technically available as a tar.gz, but I’m not sure who they think is going to install that
