@gamingonlinux I really don't think packaging is a sore spot for Linux, it's actually the other way around, it as plenty fantastic solutions, for that and for distribution of the packages, superior to the alternatives of more used OS.

This obviously doesn't mean that there are no issues with package formats, there are, but they are still better than anything else that is default on others, and what others have been doing is to imitate Linux to improve.

The point on confusion I agree.
