They're specific to Linux distribution families, so they don't really apply to those who are running Android or iOS. Also, getting your app into repository isn't really easier than getting it into app store (see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#How_do_I_get_a_sponsor_for_my_package.3F https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#How_do_I_get_a_spon...) and good luck if you're trying to make money from the app.

- oriolid 6y agoI thought the original subject was that there's too much gatekeeping. Or is there just double standard, so that gatekeeping is good for Linux distros and bad for commercial app stores?
- jariel 6y agoPro monopolist app store people are like Chinese citizens so happy with the CCP 'because stability'. It's bizarre. Android, Mac, Windows, Linux are reasonably safe platforms, there's zero reason why people can't chose to download the software they want. Apple's 'it's the security' line is the most obvious giant lie, it's there to protect their control over the platform and that's that.
- oriolid 6y agoThe difference is that you can buy a PinePhone and run whatever you want on it, but CCP doesn't offer a similar choice.
