Pushing to another machine? Yes. By strict definition. Steam exists to sell pre-compiled proprietary programs for dollars.
Rebuilding? No. Linux package management is so-so at allowing you to compile programs. But they’re dogshit garbage at helping you reliably run that program. Docker exists because Linux can’t run software.
- chpatrick 1y agoDocker (and also Nix) exists because it's not trivial to manage the whole environment needed to run an application. There's a reason everyone uses it for ops these days, and not some Windows thing.
- forrestthewoods 1y agoYes. The reason is that Linux made very bad design decisions. > it’s not trivial to manage the whole environment needed to run the application This is a distinctly Linux problem. Despite what Linux would lead you to believe it is not actually hard to run a computer program.
- chpatrick 1y agoOk then where is the amazing non Linux deployment solution that everyone uses instead?
