If I'd use some other compiled language, then covering Mac/Win would be
fine considering that Linux users are (mostly) accustomed to build
install using ther preferred package manager, but I'm not sure how does
it work with Linux not seeing any end-user app written in Pharo
available for e.g. Debian?
There is. See Phratch: http://www.phratch.com/
I have a sometimes working setup that creates a build with the VMs
and platform-specific launchers,
Does it also include stripping the VM from the stuff as it is done with
other Smalltalks like the ones I've mentioned in original email?
I remembered some mails about locking up the image so you can't not
access the developer environment. That precludes a lot of the Smalltalk
power and message IMHO.
There was also effort to push for NixOS iirc, but I don't know how
that works.
I did consider to switch to NixOS recently, but then decide to settle on
Debian for all machines I have to admin...
You can use Nix package manager with your current distro (debian, arch,
etc.) This combination have worked for me when the distro repos lack of
some package/version I care about or there are some dependency problems
on them, so you can have it as a distro neutral alternative package
manager that doesn't mess around with your current system without
leaving the convenience your favorite tool set (apt, dpkg, pacman,
builds, recipes and so on).
