Linux distros also have equivalents to App Stores, and really an app store isn't different than apt-get from a lay persons perspective. Assuming you ignore payment/cuts, but it seems you're opposed to free App Stores too.
- swiley 5y agoLinux distro repos are maintained by the community not a corporation. The only app store like that is f-droid.
- Spivak 5y agoHahahahahhahahaha. You might have a point with the likes of Debian, Arch, and Gentoo, but Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, Rocky Linux are all maintained by corporations.
- swiley 5y agoRegardless, both the attitude the repo maintainers have and the UX (for both users and developers) is totally different from smartphone app stores.
