    Yeah it’s obviously an improvement but I guess you can’t really sell a distro on “it has a more logical filesystem layout which may cause some issues, and it’s super super niche which will definitely cause some issues”.

    Probably a lost cause. I imagine Flatpak will actually work properly before the Unix filesystem hierarchy is made sane.

      @FizzyOrange @morto #nix and #guix do exactly this. It is 2025.

        Not exactly. It is pretty similar though, true.
