Linux was at that point two decades ago. The dogmatic infighting between Linux developers users is ultimately what prevents Linux from being actually useful as a desktop OS.
We have Flatpak and AppImage, and space isn’t as expensive as it once was. The problem I have is the sandboxing and isolation can make plugins problematic.
Linux is at a point where we really shouldn’t be using distro specific installers.

Yeah we should just choose a winner and go with their system.
This should be easy!
I think they were getting at Flatpaks, Snaps or AppImages (my personal favourite)
Yeah, I was referring to AppImages. But flat packs are cool too, they serve a purpose.
Yeah pick Gentoos installer. It can do everything.

I mean, obviously I’m not advocating that you install pipewire or pipewire plugins as appimages.
