I think it could because there are much more packaging format other than rpm/deb. What about Arch Linux, Gentoo or even BSDs? It is easier to maintain packages

- cycomanic 5y agoAs I said before you can still provide the other method for installing packages, but at least you cover >90% of all Linux installs (and I'm an arch user). The thing is simply if I need to install system packages I want them to show up in the system tools. The problem with pip and co doing their own thing is it never shows up in the system tools. That's the same on windows, I don't see it those in the software manager. As a user/admin that means I now need to keep track of one more tool to see what is installed on my system.
