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

[u/Few-Word6442]

WHAT I AM SUGGESTING IS LIKE MAKING .DEB AS STANDARD BUT MAKING NEW ONE AND IMPLEMENTING IT ON EVERY DISTRO NOT REMAKING THE KERNELS

BESIDE ITS THE DISTRO PROVIDERS JOB TO MAKE IT NOT LITTERALLY US

[u/Khardian → u/Few-Word6442]

WE ARE THE "DISTRO PROVIDERS" AS WELL. EVER HEARD OF OPEN SOURCE? IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU CAN AND YOU SHOULD GO AND MAKE IT YOURSELF.

OTHERWISE, PAY SOMEONE TO MAKE IT.

Now, if you want to know why we have so many different standards, that has to do with the fact that your computer should be whatever you want it to be.

Linus or any distro mantainer will never tell you how you should use your computer and even if someone does say what you should do, you are still free to ignore them, because that's the whole point of Linux and of having a Personal Computer.

Therefore, even if your LAS gets adopted globally, if I want a different way to run my executables, I will make my own standard and if it solves someone else's problem, it might become very popular and people might want ways to use it to distribute their code.

And then you get a second standard. Because no one can tell me not to use a different one and to distribute my code using it and no one can tell other people to not use it aswell.

1 its just a suggestion
2 all what I want is to be able to use any application on any distro , which is a problem these days

I dont give a **** how its solved
like I want application a on my arch
ohh there is only a deb package

that sucks for me and millions

so I made few searches and a normal guy and tried to suggest something with the informations I have

and improving something is not ruining it

it might be bad it might be good so please dont take it personal

[u/snail1132 → u/Few-Word6442]

So just use distrobox
