    And it is the right direction.

    I disagree. There’s already a universal format for deploying software on all Linux distros. It’s called “source code”.

        Or Arch. Or Slackware. Or OpenSUSE. Or basically any general purpose distro that isn’t Debian-based.

          I meant more geared for source from the get-go. Compiling everything from source without package manager or something, old school style might be a bit of a pain for most users.
