I found one the strong points of Linux is that you have your central installation place. What I would like to see is a change of culture, more tailored to the users who like experimenting and trying new things out: In Windows I like that it is customary to offer all-in-one binaries, even if you only release a super-early techdemo in a forum. For me that means: Especially for some super-early tech demos in forums. Instead of an undocumented github page where I have to read the code first to figure out the dependencies. Bottom line: More binaries for small and obscure software, for the time between release and adopting into package manager (even if that is years). In the end I like my pacman and I always find it nice to see that the Arch package is there in binary form and not only an AUR script. Yes, please do that. Nils
