Might be easier for them, I question it's usefulness for users. My experience with RPMs compiled for a distribution is that they generally "just work" with that distro, and get fixed when they don't, and aren't included when they can't be. Conversely, I've found that things like appimages and flatpaks were developed on one system and expected to work on many others, but don't. Either they won't run at all, or have failures that won't get fixed (because they work on the developer's system, and their attitude is for you to use another distro to work around the problem). A case in point: I can't run the latest version of MuseScore on CentOS, at all, because it's not compatible, there are library issues. I can run prior versions, but they can't print, again due to some compatibility issues. I'm forced to export scores as PDF files then print them from another application. It adds an annoying extra step to working on musical scores. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 13 17:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
