Here is a prediction that you may not like or agree with
- Large distros like the Debian and Redhat families will fail to manage the increasing number and complexity of packages and will resort to one of snap or flatpak
- Smaller independent distros like Void and Solus will cope by being more selective in which packages they maintain. They will become speciality Linuxes
- Bleeding edge rolling release distros like Arch and Gentoo will do what they have always done … pass the problem of package compatabilities onto the user. Gentoo might even thrive because its Portage system is superior
- The BSD distros FreeBSD, NetBSD,… will replace Linux distros for Desktop users because they have a better managment model which is capable of putting together a distro that works.
Anyone have a different vision?
