Why don't more distributions have something like the AUR when it's the main reason why so many people use Arch Linux?

•

I'm wondering why flatpaks don't work for command-line tools

I dont have links in hand, but I remember the flatpak devs saying they targeted/care about desktop gui apps. It's one of the reasons why I won't use flatpaks anytime soon if ever

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
