That's an area where the community has consistently failed. There's clearly desire among companies to rally behind just one distro (in most cases this is Ubuntu, like it or not) and so if the community was thinking ahead, they would be using that as the standard and aiming for compatibility with it. Instead you get a countless number of distros taking pride in how they're not Ubuntu and they carelessly break Ubuntu software for no reason. In some ways Ubuntu is also part of the problem here by taking actions to make it more difficult for the community to engage.
- rbreaves 5y agoI base my work on Ubuntu Budgie, but I make efforts to support a few popular others for kinto.sh. https://sourceforge.net/projects/sorunme/files/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/sorunme/files/
- throwaway82652 5y agoWow, do people actually still use sourceforge? I found it to be really clunky and missing features compared to github or gitlab or something.
- rbreaves 5y agoYou don't upload entire 2-5gb iso or vm images to github or gitlab imo. The sorun.me project itself is in fact hosted on github - not sourceforge. Will admit I had no reason to be on sourceforge at all until I was like "Hey.. I need a place to host these images." and I realized that sourceforge is still a thing and perfect for hosting such large images for free. Of course I could host it myself - but I guess I should just provide links on my actual sorun.me page.
- throwaway82652 5y agoOh cool, good to know. I never noticed that before.
