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.

Which, again, misses the point. Original OP said "install native" replying OP said "but what about (package)" (obviously intending that to be a gotcha) and I replied with "well it's in mine"

I have no idea what debs& rpms are available, nor do i care.

And what is this "possibly broken aur" rubbish ? It's a repository, and it most certainly isn't broken.

Individual packages may be broken but they can be broken in any repository. Are you saying there's never been a broken package in a debian repository ? Lol.

Edit to correct "you" to "OP" as you aren't the original person doing the "whataboutism"
