   @sodiboo @flesh "but on nix the idea is to actually package stuff" that's the idea on every distro it's just that some distros suck at it horribly. i suppose flatpak is okay as a fallback but that's not what flatpak people are pushing for, they unironically want to replace distro packaging for applications which just sucks

     @lizzy @sodiboo distros are doing away with the package things idea given flatpak. It annoys me that instead of doing a distro agnostic aur/pkgsrc, we got flatpak. And for the record, the distro agnostic thing does exist, known as LURE, but it's not popular https://github.com/lure-sh/lure

     @lizzy @sodiboo my issue is when stuff only wants to support flatpak and doesn't even have build instructions for normal linux. It's sad

     @flesh @sodiboo to be fair i'm not against devs putting their stuff on flatpak or whatever, that just means they are widening their reach which is a good thing. i also hate windows but i still think it's good when devs release their software for windows 🤷

     @mischievoustomato @sodiboo @lizzy distro agnostic aur is not a thing for a reason
     
     say you have an app that depends on the foo library, with a specific compile time option, on arch that might be libfoo and just have that option on by default, on gentoo it'd be dev-libs/foo[option], on debian, it would need libfoo at runtime and libfoo-devel at build time
     
     you can't *just* make a distro agnostic package manager, flathub *is* a distro onto itself for this very reason, and any "distro agnostic" aur will just be, an arch container
