Software for Linux is a lot more complicated than, say, software for MacOs. Instead of having one simple binary that you update for every version of the operating system, you have hundreds of binaries for many Linux distros, with different package managers, formats, init systems, and even userlands. Many people see this as an issue, and try to use a universal package manager, and then they fight about which universal package manager to use. But, I am here to propose, that not only is the fragmenting of Linux not an issue, universal package managers are unneeded and inefficient.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
