Hehehe. What about RPM users? This fragmentation in Linux packaging robs users of choice.

Would rather have Firefox setup a repository for the nightly channel, after all they official maintain the stable channel on Flathub.

That way everyone benefits from the utility.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
