There are lots of different #Linux package managers. This, in of itself, is fine but how do I communicate to users how to install software/?
Let's imagine there was a shared set of basic commands that would invoke the relevant package manager on the system, e.g. software update, software install llvm. Now a shell script doesn't have to check which package manger is used.
Is this too much to ask of linux distros/? Am I simply too naive to think this sort of beneficial cooperation is obvious/? I don't mind that package managers are different and do different things, I'm only concerned with how an end-user does the thing they want to do with the minimum of fuss. To most people, the specifics of package managers isn't their hobby.
P.S. I'm inventing "/?" to mean a rhetorical question because I can see questioning the Linux mainstay invites contentiousness
