Hear! hear!... and I will stick with Debian as long as the do not embrace said OS blasphemy.

The same argumentation applies to npm, cargo, pip, ...

Also app auto updates, browser extensions, ...

Re: NPM, how does that work? Do you manually unpack tarballs? I believe some distributions package popular NPM modules, but certainly not all of them -- not using npm doesn't really seem feasible.

(Not to mention that, in the case of pnpm at least, everything's installed into a store directory in your HOME. Seems fine to me.)

Is your chosen distro Ubuntu?

Ha ha, don't insult me.

I am a Debian user since 1999.

Please stop trying to work around the application developers and relying on unaffiliated volunteers for keeping apps updated and secure.

Please stop trying to put the burden of packaging their software for every platform on application developers. Instead just use nix.
