Wait, linux has like 10 different app stores? LMAO

Can you explain this to me like I'm an adult who understands package managers, flatpak, appimages, and snaps?
All the distros in the world could unite but they would never be able to make a usable OS that normal people would actually want to use.
>we could work together to make one good thing or we could splinter into 1000 groups to make slightly different versions of basically the same shitty thing
This is literally what Linux is all about.
So you want Linux to be communist?
>you could have the freedom to choose or we could force you all to use our system
>what are pull requests
kill yourself, apple schizo
>>we could work together to make one good thing or we could splinter into 1000 groups to make slightly different versions of basically the same shitty thing
>we could work together to make one big Walmart that everybody is forced to shop at and which has the power to control its customers like a dictatorship or we could splinter into 1000 groups to make independently-run mom and pop shops that just serve the damn product and provide the customers with choice
>This is literally what Linux is all about.
Yes.
The problem with this is 90% of those developers make trash that nobody in their right mind would use for any serious work.
It's a huge problem.
People writing shitcode with zero docs. "read it yourself, homosexual".
This is why fucking nothing gets done - Linux catered directly to the retard crowd by, ironically, being elitist. Retards flourish in elitist crowds. See banking. All bankers know how to do is scam bigger retards.
Being able to program doesn't mean you have worth. Being able to program well gives you worth.
There's a difference between writing shitty code you're only going to use and making production-ready code for others. Some people just vomit their shitcode over the industry and screech at you in 18kHz tones if you don't use it.
This is not good. This is not a good model.
It's not even remotely good.
It should never be celebrated.
Shitty coders have been the curse of the Linux community for decades.
It's not accurate to say Mom and Pop stores are a metaphor for this. They resell goods produced by others almost all the time. There's still quality control above their store that defines a minimum level of quality. (and most of it is at the least useful, unless you go to some scam-tier store like dollar/pound/euro/etc stores that sell cheap trash straight from China)

yes. it's called decentralization
but retarded sheep like you would rather have central server and take spiked dildo up your ass when that server goes down and leaves you nothing
Wait, Windows has a single one?
Why do we need an "app store" when package managers and AUR have all the stuff we need?
It has the Windows Store that no one uses
>AUR
some of us have jobs
>le work meme
so the second I'm laid off my OS becomes irrelevant? Okay, go ahead and apply that universally, dipshit nagger.
yes
NOOOO I CAN'T HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS AT MY DISPOSAL
I NEED ONE CENTRALIZED APP STORE SO THAT PROBLEMATIC APPS CAN BE REMOVED BY A CENTRAL AUTHORITY AND NOBODY CAN ACCESS THEM
>VARIETY!?!??! YOU SHOULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE, THE OFFICIAL (TM) STORE!
*has to pirate shady shit he cant afford as .exes*
Should be zip files, installers are cancer.
>macOS doesnt have this
Thanks for the warning, I won't waste my money on that gimped trash.
>linux
End-user applications for MacOS use a solution very similar to AppImage, something that MacOS inherited from NeXTStep.
"wow, linux isn't a centralized walled garden controlled by one entity? this is a bad thing somehow"
- a massive fucking retard
Programming for Apple is like trying to sell movies in China. Yeah, there's gold in them hills, but at what cost?
Sure it does. You have
>the Mac app store (which also has a separate category that's a mirror of the iOS app store)
>"loose" apps you drag into Applications
>UNIX apps
>brew
Why would anyone not use flatpak
ban all the others
Fail, GTFO.
nice try ubuntu boomer
fuck off
So does Android.
And Windows has millions because every web page providing software can be considered an app store.
REEEEEE I FUCKING HATE FLATPAK
I WILL USE PACMAN AND MAKEPKG UNTIL I DIE
i wonder who is behind this
It's a decentralized free market. You made a distro and you don't like any of the existing stores? Make your own, now there's another.
>uses the word Linux incorrectly
>builds upon his retarded mistake to say something that makes even less sense
guys I think LULZ is over.
yea, pretty sad microshit & applel can't even manage 1 huh?
flatpak is not equivalent or a replacement for a package manager
Open bsd time already?
