That is really cool. I wish I'd read more of such posts on "how do we get there, how did we get here".

Most important answer:

After deciding to support Ubuntu and X11 and Wayland

I hope it'll work in distrobox such that you can run it on every platform

Distrobox is not a good solution. But when there is an APT package, packagers can easily use their binary and create RPMs etc.

swooosh ,

Why?

I'd use it for analysis and prose. I think it'll be ok in distrobox.

boredsquirrel ,

It is a separate Distro. I used it for running VLC already and for sure it works, but it isnt really a good solution.

swooosh ,

Ok. So far I only use it for cli tools like pdlaftex, typst, R, and others. So far it works great. I assume the same for gui apps. Theming will be off but that's not a real issue as long as the app works.

That was a hypothetical illustrating the amount of choices one had to make to port to Linux. So far their decision is to just release a tarball.
