The kind of entitlement in the article title is so off-putting. Every time I read an article about the “distribution” and “packaging” situation on Linux, I come away happy I don’t target desktop users on that platform via a native app. I’m very happy to have the browser runtime between me and Linux desktop software stacks. I’ve seen plenty of complaining about NPM, go dep, and other language package managers, but I’d much rather be able to pick and lock my dependencies than have them semi-randomly assigned by myriad vendor teams. If I did have to target Linux desktop, I would only use Flatpak, fully static binaries, or similar, and be very happy to have a container boundary etc that allows me to pin my dependencies.
