LOL!
Though as someone who shipped commercial software on Linux, it wasn't that bad, you just had to ship everything other than the kernel.
Microsoft used to ship a Linux binary for Teams, but they stopped doing that. Guess the tech was lost.
With the AI, we can finally have the year of desktop Linux.
Nonetheless, it's the year og the linux desktop!
Yeah idk what OpenAI was thinking. Just going off their own claims… OpenAI must be filled with bozos to not be able to utilize their own supposed product capabilities…
It's the exact opposite. They picked the easiest way, done countless times just fine by everyone else and still failed
Yes... Just use DEB package files for any distro. Make a compatibility layer that is distro dependent so that it can come preinstalled on any distro. It converts the DEB package to a distro native package so that it doesn't fuck up existing packages or the existing distro-native package manager, and gives you the apt and dpkg commands . Unlike appimages and flatpaks it has no reviewer, no store and it can be installed just like EXEs on windows which is already the case for DEBs on debian and debian based distros. Would this work?
