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.

That's what things like deb and rpm are for, or scripts to download and compile locally.
Edit: thank you tomalley8342 for being the single person to reply with any basic sense. It's a hell of a thing to thank someone for but with how stupid everyone else has made this comment thread I really do mean it.
It also what flatpak is for. What's your point?
I don't even like Flatpak, yet here I am thinking this is a stupid comment.
Congrats to Katzenmann for publishing this app. Will try it on my Debian phone, was looking for something like this!
I can say that the app works on mobile but I still need to optimize it. The UI is a bit weird when the scaled small and the keyboard doesn't auto-activate because libcosmic is missing support for the wayland protocol used to do that.
