Comment With open source code, no need for one binary. (Score 1) 487
People have been asking for a universal binary or some sort of Universal Package Manager (UPM, that could work) for linux for ages.
I think the main reason why there isn't one yet is the FLOSS nature of Linux.
When the source code is open, there is no need for one single binary, it's up to the distro (or user) to make it into an fitting binary package. For that reason I think it wont change much if there was one single Binary.
Also I've always thought that more applications should just use .bin files, compatible for all.
