The 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.
- sagichmal 6y ago> many people seem to like unified look and feel All else equal, sure. 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.
