Make a Linux app. Stop making distributions.

    Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn’t count.

      Yeah I recently went back to Linux as a daily driver and was blown away how easy stuff like flatpaks made it to do everything I need quickly. That wasn’t the case last time I used Linux for something more than a quick and dirty VM host.

      You are comparing Apples to oranges. While it may be true that Linux may have more software available, in my experience macOS has a shit ton of productivity software as well, and many times, due to being for-profit, of higher quality. That’s exactly why I’ve been thinking about giving my own try to making a launcher like Raycast for Linux.

        Can completely agree. On Apple systems I can find a ton of productivity and editing software, but no luck doing things like file operations or automating. On Linux I can find absolutely anything related to processing data, customization, science or protocol clients, but no luck finding good note taking tool.
