Remacs – A community-driven port of Emacs to Rust

FPM is at least a step in the right direction to reduce the overhead of creating all of these.

At a minimum, Linux should have a common packaging system; though there may never be agreement. It's hard to see macOS and windows endingnup with a common one.

But maybe we could do a third party option that is independent of each OS? Those rarely work out well though.

And that is forgetting that are many more OSes out there than just those three.

Of course there are many more, but if you could build the one true package manager for all the major OSes, my guess is that the smaller ones would join the fray.

Not really, because it would meant that their semantics weren't accounted for.

As an example, IBM just released yesterday a new mainframe model.

z/OS is a totally different animal compared with POSIX based OSes or Windows, starting by the file system, catalog based.
