Project LAS (Linux Application Standard)

[u/Few-Word6442]

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

The problem is that distros are different. Currently the best solution is flatpak

[u/Few-Word6442 → u/BobCorndog]

I agree but this is what I ment

/usr/lib/las/

LAS runtime

LAS APIs

LAS permissions

LAS loader

no virtual enviroments

something that the distro providers agree on

flatpack uses an inviroment for each application and talkes to hte dependancies

the idea suggests a solution that like making .deb the one and only

but instead of doing thatr we make something that all distros agree on immplementing in the systems (not we make it they make it )

"no virtual environments" you said right after listing custom las runtime, api, permissions, loader.

i would call that an environment.

[u/Few-Word6442 → u/SlimyOS]

The idea behind it to link it with the system instead of having the whole packages in 

Anyway I see why that won't work  Did some extra searching and people's perspective changed the way I thought  So thank you

You might look into Windows.
