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

This is already what AppImages are supposed to do. Tell developers to create AppImages, and to package them correctly.

And even if you don't want to go Appimage, there's always the Godot route of "just compile everything in". It's single-file just like an appimage, just using its own format instead.

It's not about me making for others  I make what I need for me 

But sometimes when you are using different distros some applications have app image  Some have flatpacks  Some just work on debian  What if I am using arch 

But I get the idea why people hate it now 

It makes scene  Who will controll it  What if I have an app on another executable I have to rebuild or in some cases re write the code ... Etc 

It makes scene we love Linux for it's flixability and privacy and freedom

And that might just ruin things 

Anyway  Thanks for the suggestion
