I think it would be quite viable if there is any willingness to work with the distributions in the interest in security.

- IshKebab 1y agoWell, distros haven't really put any effort into making it viable as far as I know. They really should! Why isn't there a standard Linux package format that all distros support? Flatpak is fine for user GUI apps but I don't think it would be feasible to e.g. distribute Rust via a Flatpak. (And when I say fine, I haven't actually used it successfully yet.) I think distros don't want this though. They all want everyone to use their format, and spend time uploading software into their repo. Which just means that people don't.
