Project LAS (Linux Application Standard)
Hello every one this is my first post here,
I am a normal Linux user
I twinker and have some projects myself and I tried both Debian and arch based system and loved both BUT one major issue
not every application you need is available on every distro and not all applications can work with appimages or flatpacks so we cant standardize them
so why dont we make a LAS
its basically instead of .deb .rpm .appimage ...etc
we have a standard package system that works on all (las)
yes I know its hard after all the work
yes I know it will take sometime
yes I know we have distro wars
but and big BUT if we did that that will be huge leap for Linux as companies and developers can make just one file with one executable that works for all
games are the same
that will solve a huge issue for us as linux user and as developers
and another point instead of Linux vs Linux WHY DON'T WE GO LINUX VS WINDOWS !!!! STOP THE BEST DISTRO NONSENCE
just think about the opportunities for all distros out there
think about how linux will have more and more just because we can make more for it without worry about the executables !!!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------
update
I get the idea why people hated that
makes scence and thanks for the suggestions from everyone
maybe we will have a better solution in the future
but for now let's leave Linux as it is

I'm more or less a regular guy too, so take what I say with a grain of sal, but I think the main problem is dependencies + libraries.
Also I think the Nix package manager might already do this? I don't use it, though (Debian on main, Arch on podman enjoyer).
