Ya know, I&#x27;ve thought for a long time that the idea of app-store-ification of OS&#x27;s was lifted directly from distro repos. The depth of use is drastically different, but the core concept is the same.<p>Something like this is probably more useful in the Linux desktop advocacy areas and not so much for hackers. Sometimes suspension of disbelief should be applied to projects like this, as it&#x27;s target market is not hackers but instead helpful in converting desktop users.
