repology-rules VS ZeroTier-GUI

A lot, it's (also) a complete linux distribution. See https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/ and for comparison with other distros: https://repology.org/ It looks like they entered the top ten since last time I checked.

I'm having a hard time believing it, but apparently nixpkgs is larger than AUR per https://repology.org/?

Generally, the easiest thing to do is to do nothing - if your software is useful and people are using it, then packagers will show up. You can track what distros packaged your project on https://repology.org/.

I remember when the internet was smaller (20 years ago?) some people would have a comparison of different package managers for linux distros where they would dive in to examples and use. Anyway, this is a high level of package currency : https://repology.org/

The last distros I've used that didn't really have their own package managers were Slackware (it is just a tarball) and PuppyLinux (adopted from slackware or debian).

Anyway, Slitaz is here https://repology.org/repository/slitaz_cooking

You can basically install nix packages on every Linux and even MacOS. They are imo better developed and less error prone. You are guaranteed to never have dependency issues. The hashing scheme and idea of representing and building packages from derivation logic is spectacular design. The design of Nix inherently supports atomic upgrades and the likes of an immutable system. Also, afaik, it has the largest package availability currently (at least as many pkgs as Arch's) https://repology.org/

Yep, it's no. 1 on https://repology.org/

Most have it on their website, but you can also check here

Install zerotier on both machines - download or try package manager. I think it is just a command line tool but you can install a GUI from here. If you don't install the gui, you can join your network with the command:

So... this was a christmas gift I wasn't expecting. I just received $20 as a donation to one of my programs, ZeroTier-GUI. I don't know what to say, I'm genuinely speechless, it's the first donation I've gotten. Just the idea that a program I made was useful enough to somebody else to make them pay for it is... amazing. I can't thank that person enough.

About Debian/Ubuntu: the best way would probably be a PPA. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to upload packages to a PPA. I think I managed to create a PPA, but I don't know how to package for it. I do have a script that creates deb files tho, which once again, is quite easy to do, you can see my implementation here.

I created 2 applications for Linux, ZeroTier-GUI and Steam-Metadata-Editor. Also ddi but that was more of a personal project to try to use Rust rather than anything else. Both were received fairly well. I also lurk this and other linux related subreddits and provide help wherever I can, which happens to be a lot.
