@malwareminigun @drewdevault ~80 % of the packages in ubuntu are based on the debian ones which are maintained by unpaid volunteers for the most part. I don't know how the numbers are for fedora, but I imagine it's similar. Imho distro packages are the superior in many ways, and I'd rather compile from source than use a flatpak or curl | sh tbh. Most applications I use are distro packages anyway. I think reinventing package formats isn't gonna improve linux itself
