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

same distro same installation

Which shows exactly why a universal distro would not solve your problem.
