Building an Application Market for Linux

Sriram Ramkrishna   

Linux has always been a distro dominated eco-system, applications have always been served by these independent operating system vendors (OSV). The problem is that by using the distro model we bypass the developer. This talks about a new model that has arisen thanks to flatpak and snaps which will allow developers to be compensated. In order to build a market, you need to provide values to users and to provide adequate compensation to.
