Distribution quotes of the week

Sorry, I had mistook you for the person at the top of this thread. I apologize for the mistake.

>I am deliberately asking you to think about the disadvantages of letting the distributions package everything and acknowledge them instead of overlooking the reasons why other models exist entirely. If you can see no reason at all why those exist, that would be interesting to know as well by itself.

Well, this post was not aiming to do that. I wasn't setting a mock debate. I'm arguing for my views as I see them, and explaining the system that I work in, rather than trying to dissect some of the upstarts in the space. The purpose of this post was not to contrast this model with others, but instead to speak to its merits in their own right, since it seems many have forgotten them, or never really understood them in the first place.

Some kind of article more specifically addressing Flatpak et al might be warranted in the future, but I really have very little to say on the subject which is not derogatory, and I have been aiming to craft a more positive tone for my blog as of late. I think this post stands perfectly well upon its own merits regardless.
