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.

I think I have a simple function in my .zshrc file that updates flatpaks and runs dnf or zypper depending on what the system uses. This file is synced between machines as part of my dotfiles sync so I don't have to install anything separate. The interface of most package managers is stable, so I didn't have to touch the function.

This way I don't have to deal with a package that's on a different version in different software repositories (depending on distribution) or manually install and update it.

But that's just me, I tend to keep it as simple as possible for maximum portability. I also avoid having too many abstraction layers.
