so like. IS there a way on a typical Linux distrubution to just... download software from the internet and run it?
Does it have to be a shell script? Is that the only way to do it? This kind of sucks.
Sorry, I didn't mean building software to do this. I meant having things as simple as installers and what not for basic software. I tried using AppImage and flatpak but my distros just... do not recognize these things as one-and-done usable entities. Maybe it's my exotic arch (arm64) so the appimage/flatpak just does not have usable software in it for me??
ah. So the reason every zip/appimage/flatpak explodes is because I'm on an exotic CPU arch (arm), and probably why they mostly just fizzle out silently when I try to invoke them. Most app image/flatpak things are i686 and x64 stuff, so it just has... nothing in there for me. Unfortunate.
Guess I'll just shut up then and go back to building everything from source.
