"Rust does not have a stable ABI"
This whole ideology of "the user should get all their software from their Linux distribution" and it's implicit consequence: there's no clear difference between system software (internal tooling) and application software installed by the user (Audacity and friends) should just die already.I want my OS to just provide a decent interface over which I can install application packages myself, packages that I get from my own sources, just like on Windows. if those packages are statically linked, fine. I know most Linux users disagree, but I don't want the relationship between software vendor and user to be distorted by some distro maintainer, or having to be limited to a package manager. I want to be able to store application installers in my filesystem.I also want my distribution to hide it's Python binary from me so I can install my own Python without breaking the OS.Basically: stop assuming that I want to live under your wing. I just want you to give me a nice desktop environment, a terminal and a well docomented way to install third party software.I know distro developers don't owe me anything, and it's fine if they do something else, but this is the actual reason why Linux isn't used in the desktop.
