@mos_8502 @aphyr so if it's a niche hobby project then there's no point bothering to support Linux, because it's not worth anyone's time to push through the friction of the package maintainer cathedral.

@HunterZ @aphyr You can get most of the way there just publishing your package as a .deb and a .rpm. And I can't speak on Fedora, but getting packages into Debian isn't very hard. They don't even have to be free software.

@HunterZ @aphyr You could also do the "homebrew" thing and have a command line you can copy and paste to download and run a script that handles it all, but that is a touchy subject with some.

@mos_8502@studio8502.ca @HunterZ@mastodon.sdf.org @aphyr@woof.group you can also get away with statically compiling or shipping your app with every library needed to run your app, and targetting an old enough version of glibc, it usually does the trick

@mos_8502 @HunterZ @aphyr You don't even need to get the package into an official repo if you want, you can host your own with just your software or even just a .deb download on github or stuff.
