That is really cool. I wish I’d read more of such posts on “how do we get there, how did we get here”.

Most important answer:

After deciding to support Ubuntu and X11 and Wayland

I hope it’ll work in distrobox such that you can run it on every platform

Distrobox is not a good solution. But when there is an APT package, packagers can easily use their binary and create RPMs etc.

Why?

I’d use it for analysis and prose. I think it’ll be ok in distrobox.

It is a separate Distro. I used it for running VLC already and for sure it works, but it isnt really a good solution.

That was a hypothetical illustrating the amount of choices one had to make to port to Linux. So far their decision is to just release a tarball.

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.
