#linux friends
I'm trying to understand why the Linux desktop worlds ABIs are incompatible (one of the motivations for Flatpak yes?) Isn't it true that #Fedora, #Ubuntu, and #Debian are based on #Gnome ? Doesn't that imply that the ABI for each should be (more or less) compatible (modulo library configurations)?
This obviously has a complex history, I'm not asking for anyone to patiently explain this to me. But if there is a link that gives more historical perspective, I'd be grateful.
