The number of people who consider the system/distribution the atomic unit rather than the application, is probably about equal to the number of people who "edit dependencies and put their system back together" -- they are in total statistically zero. The overriding concern is the user need for a working application. Everything else is a distant secondary concern.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything, here, I'm just describing the facts on the ground. If you're not into them, that's fine!
- Ericson2314 5y agoThe number of people who have a "theory of distribution" one way or the other is pretty low. But - many people seem to like unified look and feel - many people complain about per-app auto-update - many people love to complain software is getting worse Are these people connecting these complaints to the debate we're having? Probably not. Can these views be connected to that? Absolutely. --- I work on distros and due edit the root dependencies, I also contribute to many libraries I use at work during work, finally, I use the same distro at work on on my own and everything is packaged the same way. So yes, it's a "unified workflow for yak shaves" and I quite like it. I hope there can be more people like me if this stuff weren't so obnoxiously difficult.

But they'll sacrifice that in a minute if it means elimination of other toil. > many people complain about per-app auto-update Facts not in evidence. > many people love to complain software is getting worse Okay. > I work on distros... Well, there you go.
