    It’s not about whether it’s possible to install via a single command; it’s about signaling that its popular enough for the distro to justify maintaining a proper first-party package for it.

      That’s an arbitrary way to decide if a package is worth installing

        What’s arbitrary about popularity? We use it to decide all sorts of things, including voting in a democracy.

          Yeah but determining popularity based on wither or not it’s in a distro repo doesn’t make sense

      I’m pretty sure modern programs by modern people are primarily released as Flatpak while every other traditional package manager comes second, if at all.

      If you want to measure popularity, you can see the download count of programs on flathub.org . 550,000 installs of LibreWolf is not niche.
